Why do people believe that cholesterol-lowering drugs reduce their chances of heart disease?
The drug company’s work tirelessly to promulgate the cholesterol lowering myth by conveniently citing supportive studies while burying unsupportive ones. The British Medical Journal gave a review of 22 published controlled cholesterol-lowering trials. It found that studies, which showed to be supportive of low cholesterol, were cited 6 times more often than those that were unsupportive and that unsupportive trials had not been reported since 1970.
Further the report found that studies that were supportive of low-cholesterol were due to bias on the part of researchers. It is always important to note
who is funding the studies on any drug or treatment - if the drug company itself is funding the study or in any way influencing the researchers the study can be biased.
