I find this article to be a perfect example of the health crisis we have here in America. When reading any “medical information”, you must first consider its source. In this case, the source isn’t even a medical source, nor does not come with accolades, rather, it has repeatedly been implicated in alteration of facts and misrepresentation primarily to shock readers. This article is no different. To suggest that children need to be on cholesterol lowering drugs is horrifying. It's bad enough that adults are taking it and at the end of the day we know that total cholesterol and heart disease are two very different things one not being related to the other. Please do your own due diligence before heeding advice such as this.
Millions more adults should consider starting cholesterol-lowering medications earlier to reduce their risk of heart attack and stroke, according to new medical guidance.
