Research funded by drug companies cannot be trusted. No, I don't recommend going off the deep end into conspiracy theory land. But at least do some searching for other points of view. You will be appalled at some of what is going on.

Ok, I decided to Google for some Lipitor commercials. And guess what? EVERY one that I watched talked about diet and exercise. Here are some examples:

From seeing loved ones die, I know that if you don't die from a lousy lifestyle in one big heart attack in your 70's or 80's, your gonna die in your 90's a long torturous death starving and thirsty in a hospital bed, all doped up. So I don't think anything matters.
