The Canadian Lipid Nurse Network

Can anyone tell us how one can nurse a lipid? Broken legs, heart attack, kidney failure, sure, but a lipid? Guess to whom Liz Helden is beholden. Click on makingtheconnection.ca, a web site copyrighted by Pfizer, peddler of Lipitor, the top-selliing drug in the world.

So at what age should you measure cholesterol? If you don't have xanthomas and you eat a non-atherogenic diet and exercise, NEVER. Purveryors of statins just love it when blood cholesterol is measured. By definition half of the measurements will be "high" compared to "target". And why would anyone change his/her diet if they are told all they have to do to prevent heart attack is reach "target" with a little pill in the evening?
