Free Statins With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk
Fast food outlets could1 provide statin drugs free of 1 so that customers can reduce the heart disease dangers of fatty food, researchers at Imperial College London2 2 in a new
study.
Statins reduce the 3 of unhealthy ”LDL” cholesterol3 in the blood. A wealth of trial data4 has proven them to be highly effective at lowering a person’s heart attack 4 .
In a paper published in the American Journal of Cardiology5,Dr Darrel Francis and colleagues calculate that the reduction in heart attack risk offered by a statin is 5 to offset the increase in heart attack risk from 6 a cheeseburger and drinking a milkshake.
Dr Francis,from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London,who is the senior author of the study, said:”Statins don’t cut out a11 of the 7 effects of cheeseburgers and French fries6.It’s better to avoid fatty food altogether.But we’ve worked out that in terms of your 8 of having a heart attack. Taking a statin can reduce your risk to more or less the same 9 as a fast food meal increases it.” “It’s ironic that people are free to take as many unhealthv condiments in fast food outlets as they 10 , but statins, which are beneficial to heart health, have to be prescribed. It makes sense7 to make risk-reducing statins available just as easily as the unhealthy condiments that are l 1 free of charge.It would cost less than 5 pence per 1 2 一not much different to a sachet of sugar8.” Dr Francis said.
When people engage in risky behaviours like driving or smoking, they’re encouraged to take 13 that lower their risk, 1ike 14 a seatbelt or choosing cigarettes with filters. Taking a statin is a rational way of 1 5 some of the risks of eating a fatty meal.
