"In May 2001, the National Cholesterol Education Panel (NCEP) issued major new clinical practice guidelines on the prevention and treatment of high cholesterol levels in adults, lowering the target optimum level for LDL to less than 100. This was the first major update of the NCEP guidelines since 1993. The NCEP predicted that the new guidelines would increase the number of Americans 'requiring' treatment for elevated cholesterol levels from 52 million to 65 million and would nearly triple the number of Americans who would need to take cholesterol-lowering drugs (from 13 million to 36 million). But for many doctors, 36 million people under experimental drug therapy are just not enough. Many “experts” are now pushing to set target limits for LDL to less than 80, which would mandate that tens of millions of additional Americans be on moderate to high doses of statin drugs for the rest of their lives, despite the fact that these drugs are known to cause significant liver damage.
Of course, there are the usual assortment of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)--approved double-blind studies to back these conclusions. In the past ten years, clinical trials have 'conclusively' demonstrated that lowering LDL cholesterol reduces heart attacks and saves lives. The benefits of lowering LDL cholesterol, according to these studies, include reducing the formation of new cholesterol plaques, eliminating existing plaques, preventing rupture of plaques, decreasing the risk of heart attacks, and lowering the chance of strokes."
