Crap that most people don't know

i just saw the banner above my yahoomail inbox and it said "do you want to lower cholesterol? click here to find out how!" ... hey, it's ramadhan, it's the last day of work before eid, i'm bored to my nuts, and every minute seems like a lifetime... so i clicked this crap (although i knew what was behind that page would piss me off)... new stupid drug that lowers cholesterol... but wait, there's more... it doesn't work like other statins (lipitor and shit), it blocks the absorption of cholesterol and fats in the digestive tract!! oh my god!! yipppiiieeee!!! and guess what? in trial studies, where patients used it with a statin, it lowered their LDL even more!!! wow!!
Wake up!!!
what ever happened to eating healthy and taking a freakin' walk every once in a while? here's some info you don't know, and ofcourse, the pharmaceutical companies don't want to tell you:

1- you need to have a good cholesterol ratio to maintain hormonal functions in the body. somehow, everyone is so obsessed with cholesterol and they don't know what the hell it's there for.

2- plaque and CAD in the arteries takes years and years to pile up. a little drug isn't gonna clean all that mess up... you might have a favorable cholesterol ratio after using it, but the plaque is still there

3- this is the most important part... statins (lipitor and shit) reduce bad cholesterol (LDL), yes, BUT they destroy almost all the Co-enzyme Q10 your body needs to maintain healthy heart functionality. So, you are not decreasing your chances of having a heart attack while on this crap... hell, you could be increasing the chances... but when your heart stops, and you're about to die, you can say this "atleast i have a favorable cholesterol ratio..... "

cook at home and eat healthy foods, you'll save money
take a walk ... you'll save your health
