 One in four Americans over the age of 45 is now taking
these drugs, and few are properly warned about the
related health risks. Part of the problem is that many
doctors are not even aware of all the risks. A study
published last spring highlighted this dilemma.
7/15/2014 3
Most disturbingly, the researchers found that:
 physicians were lacking in awareness of the teratogenic
risks3 (ability to cause fetal malformations) of statins and
other cardiovascular drugs they prescribed for their
pregnant patients.
 The study followed an earlier report, which had concluded
statins should be avoided in early pregnancy due to their
teratogenic capability4.
 An even earlier 2003 study5 had already established that
cholesterol plays an essential role in embryonic
development, and that statins could play a part in
embryonic mutations or even death...

 Indeed, it's difficult to look at these facts and not reach the
conclusion that the pharmaceutical industry is quite
willing to sacrifice human lives for profit.
 Statins are in fact classified as a "pregnancy Category X
medication."
 Meaning, it causes serious birth defects, and should NEVER
be used by a woman who is pregnant or planning a
pregnancy.
