Statin drugs for kids {*cor)

The American Pediatric Society is now trying to drug kids age 8 and up with liver killing medications. The thought is that this will reduce the obesity problem of kids and adults in the future. The current studies have shown that theses drugs have very little effect on the cholesterol levels in any human. There are several studies that show the cholesterol level is not the culprit in heart disease. The real culprit is triglyceride and cholesterol ratios. The idea of forcing the developing systems of our kids to reduce the amount of cholesterol in there systems is just plain wrong. Without cholesterol the nerve, muscle and joint development are interfered with dramaticly. If we want our kids to be in a healthy weight situation and avoid heart disease in the future, then we as parents need to take away the computer games and get these kids out playing ball or some other exercise. Using the computer and TV for babysitters is causing our kids to become very unhealthy. DO NOT let this new drugging of our kids get a hold of you.
