Huh? New cholesterol treatment guidelines could double number of Americans taking statins

Ask any cardiologist about the correlation between what's on your plate and heart disease.  Strange, the article only mentions "may not eat as well" in the very last sentence.  Plus, how come no mention of the horrific side effects some may experience when taking a statin, i.e. Parkinson's like symptoms.

Meanwhile, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration - notice it's not the U.S.D.A. - because it is manufactured in a laboratory - not grown in a field) cautions against trans fats (a.k.a. partially hydrogenated oil).   No wonder America (and her children) have never been fatter, sicker or more malnourished.  We're consuming highly processed, chemically engineered, genetically modified, steroid injected, antibiotic feed, artificially colored and flavored, fake food.  

After I had cancer 12 years ago at the age of 38 I shop for only "real" food - that is I can pronounce everything on the label and make it in my kitchen.  Can't do that with hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup and just got back my cholesterol levels - yep - they're a-o-k.
Best health to all....
