Great video reports on Part 1 and Part 2. Interesting as the only reason it could have been banned is that the report is such an indictment on Pharma for focusing the blame on cholesterol and producing statins to lower it. Big investment and massive revenues can make those who stand to benefit very unethical. They've duped the medical community so well, that physicians are worried about malpractice if they don't prescribe these drugs. What a perfect storm, as the very people who should be trusted by the population for dispensing sound health information are unwittingly part of this Cabal of Distortion. I believe most physicians who are promoting statins are doing so because they are unaware of the bad science behind this fraud. I put my own PCP in this category. This is why people need to take control by acquiring their own knowledge to make decisions for themselves. The old guard medical community no longer can be trusted to play this role.
