While this can help you can also just inherit high cholesterol.
My grandfather died young of a heart attack. Dude was hard as steel and still ran and exercised regularly.

You obviously have very linear thinking. If that is something you can't change, eating better foods will reduce other risk factors. Meaning that qonr ststic risk factor alone won't kill you unless you compound it with a poor diet causing inflammation. My patience with people grows less as I get older.

There’s no such thing as bad cholesterol.

Imagine when their's a breakthrough that prevents the build up of plaque deposits in the brain that Alzheimer's patients suffer from. Will big pharma pull the plug on AI since they make so much revenue treating patients?
There are a handful that have been shown to remove nearly all (if not all) detectable amyloid plaques on imaging of patients with alzheimer disease. It doesnt improve their cognition however and only seems to slow things if the disease was caught early enough - having said that, we aren't sure why thats the case yet. A few other things come into play but taking those into account, the exact mechanism of cerebral deterioration in AD is not understood enough.

I would also argue that antibiotics and excising and treating cancers could be considered cures as well (possibly organ transplantation)
Forgot to add, my wife had Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2009. She received the proper “modern Pharma” treatment and is alive today and healthy as a horse. Without modern medicine and Pharma, she wouldn’t be alive. She was cured of cancer.

They already know what the side effects are, they just donna lie and say it 97% effective,
.A Single dose yeh i believe that shite.

It is hard to have a real picture of long-term side effects until there are people on the drug for years.

Incorrect.
Testing techniques and carefully-monitored trials reveal side effects before the drugs are available for general consumption.
All the results are readily available.
ETA; you said long-term, I agree, but they usually aren't significant

Ive heard that, but any studies to back it up up? % of people affected?
And do the pros outweigh (haha) the cons?

I am not arguing they are widespread, only significance of the side effect.
The studies are being done now, as i recall.

Typically serious side effects are elucidated in longer term phase three trials with a higher number of participants. But there’s no way to know what the effects of extremely long term drug use are unless you completed a a 10 or 20 year phase 3 trial before seeking FDA approval. That doesn’t make a lot of sense. If serious side effects are seen AFTER approval and they are serious enough, they will pull the drug off the market, see Raptiva.

These are in the full prescribing information and were shown in the phase three pivotal trials.

I am saying these miracle drugs tend to have hammers that drop, of varying severity, down the road.
This line of contentious discussion just arose from me saying I wonder what the long term side effects will be, in good faith.
Hell, it could just be gas. . .or your balls could fall off. Nobody knows yet, but it will be something.
