That’s really fascinating. My friend who takes Statins is overweight, but he eats junk food too.
Doctors really don’t consider the side effects of the medications they prescribe, tunnel vision I guess. I’ve found that a good pharmacist is much more knowledgeable.
I’ve always kept my junk food to a minimum but if I wanted a burger or pizza I would get it. Since my wife passed away in 2016 I’ve stayed away from pies and cakes. Haven’t eaten any candy except for three or four Milky Way bars a year in ages.
I think over medication is a large part of the obesity problem, outside of a certain demographic. Everyone seems to be taking some medication for something these days. We need to look at the side effects.
