Oh, no!!! SuperShots brought my total cholesterol levels down from the 270s to 200. I wondered why it was getting hard to find in the grocery stores. That stuff is great! This makes no sense. What about the other products that have plant sterols (i.e. Smart Balance, etc.)??? Same active ingredient. Of course, if everyone discontinues statins in favor of plant sterols to effective bring down their cholesterol levels, the pharmaceutical companies are going get hit in the wallet big time. This makes just about as much sense as the FDA going after Cheerios. Geez!
If SuperShots are discontinued, I’ll just go to the health food store and buy supplements with plant sterols. They are safer, effective, and have no side effects unlike the pharmaceuticals. Follow the money trail. Big Pharma stands to lose the most.
My husband takes policosanol instead of statins.
He takes 20 mg a day, I believe. I know that when I have seen threads about cholesterol and blood pressure, some Freepers mention Red Yeast as well.
I believe there is a health ping list, but I do not know who keeps it.
Do you own due diligence!
Totally agree with everything you just said and will have to resort to doing the same thing. This story needs legs...killing a shelf item that is proving big results for people is criminal.
