Another useless drug

The news on the drug Vytorin today will disappoint many that look for a quick fix for a problem instead of trying to rectify it with a change in lifestyle. It is too hard for most today to walk away from the American way of eating processed and fat laden foods and sedentary lifestyle that affects the heart. Instead, they want the magic pill.

Well here it is. One more time we are given the go ahead for a drug that does not do as it should, and in fact in this case, makes plaque buildup within the arteries even worse. Isn't that great? With the news today, I am glad I sprinkle lecithin granules over my foods, eat 80% live enzyme rich food, and get an amount of exercise in throughout my day. I am grateful for my extremely low cholesterol (126) and very low triglycerides (34) and know that I will never have to worry about these cholesterol/heart drugs,.... but then I work at it.
