Ever read Karl Denninger at the market ticker? He has been going on about this for years, along with the diabetes increase and the high carb obesity explosion.
Had a coworker who had to get stents put in because the statins he was taking cause a calcium build up in his arteries.
Not for me. Exercise and not eating sugar is a lot easier. And cheaper.
