Toxic Oreos lower LDL Cholesterol More Than Statins

January 25th, 2024
Via: The Highwire:
Pfizer’s cholesterol-lowering statin drug Lipitor is one of the most profitable medications of all time. Globally, the lucrative statin market is projected to reach $32 billion by 2032. Yet, for years, there have been published studies reporting that statin drugs lead to profound memory loss and diabetes, and, overall, are entirely worthless. As such, the studies have supplied the basis for reevaluating the guidelines for prescribing statins and theories on cholesterol in general. After all, cholesterol is essential to the human body—if you had none, you would be dead. The studies have likewise questioned why more focus isn’t put on maintaining good heart health through beneficial lifestyle habits instead of harmful statin medications. However, given the massive profits enjoyed by Big Pharma and physicians alike, questions are quelled, and statin prescriptions continue to increase. But alas—firmly revealing the absurdity of the scheme to keep Americans unhealthy on statins—a recent study published on January 22, 2024, has demonstrated that Nabisco’s toxic Oreo Cookies are two times more effective at lowering LDL cholesterol (the one they say is “bad”) than high-intensity statin drugs.

Thats either a lot of welfare,....or a bloody big war or very nasty pandemic

A few years ago they talked about 30-50% job losses within ~15 years but as it seems not many people took it serious.

Key statements made by Russian deputy envoy to the United Nations Dmitry Polyanskiy during the emergency UNSC meeting on the Russian Il-76 military plane crash in the Belgorod region:

All available information about Ukraine downing the Russian Il-76 military transport airplane carrying Ukrainian prisoners of war shows an act of premeditated assault;

Should information that Western countries supplied weapons used in the Il-76 downing be confirmed, they will be implicated as direct participants in this heinous act;

Russia will do everything to ensure that all those responsible for the Il-76 crash are held accountable;

The Russian Federation is outraged by international organisations' refusal to condemn the downing of the Il-76.

What weapons will West supply to Ukraine in 2024?

Germany will send 20 Marder infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), 15 Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 124 RQ-35 Heidrun reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other equipment, but still won't deliver its Taurus KEPD 350 cruise missiles.

France has pledged to send Safran Armement Air-Sol Modulaire (AASM) Hammer guided bombs for the first time to Kiev as well as additional 40 MBDA SCALP EG cruise missiles. Paris has also promised 78 Caesar howitzers to Ukraine, but they have yet to be manufactured.

UK has vowed to send drones, long range missiles, shells and air defense systems, but it is not clear yet what the newly announced £2.5 billion ($3.2 billion) package for 2024/25 will include. Military observers have thrown into doubt that UK will provide sufficient missile defenses to Ukraine, suggesting that it would most likely be obsolete weapon systems.

Denmark earlier promised Kiev to supply it with almost two dozen of F-16 fighter jets, but the delivery has once again been delayed by up to six months.

Norway provided just two of its F-16s for training of Ukrainian pilots.

Belgium reportedly pledged €611 million ($662 million) in military aid for Ukraine, but still won't supply F-16 warplanes to Kiev before 2025.

Estonia is continuing to provide small arms to Kiev despite the nation's economic woes and looming recession.

Statements by First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Dmitry Polyanskiy:

Russia calls on the member states of the UN Security Council to condemn the crash of the Russian Il-76 plane with Ukrainian prisoners of war, which was shot down by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Belgorod region;

The Ukrainian Armed Forces could shoot down a Russian Il-76 plane over the Belgorod region with American or German-made anti-aircraft missiles, if this is confirmed, then Western countries will become accomplices in the crime committed by Kiev;

The Ukrainian authorities are buried in their lies regarding the situation surrounding the destruction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine of the Il-76 aircraft of the Russian Ministry of Defense;

The West justifies all the crimes of Kiev and tries to turn the arrows on Russia;

All data on the destruction of Il-76 by Ukrainian troops indicates that it was a deliberate and thoughtful crime of the Kiev regime;

France has put the interests of the North Atlantic Alliance above its responsibilities as chairman of the UN Security Council.
