Cholesterol: The Power of Apple

Dear Reader,

Here's something to consider. Some experts believe that eating an apple a day could help reduce your risk of heart disease as well as taking a prescription statin. In fact, if everyone in the UK who is over 50 followed this advice, it may well prevent 8,500 deaths each year suggests a recent report in the British Medical Journal. Today about 5 million Britons take statins, and in the U.S. as many as one in four (32 million) over the age of 45 are taking a statin drug.

These cholesterol-lowering medications are given to prevent heart disease, while heart attack patients take them to put a stop to another heart attack. Experts say there's little doubt that statins do make an impact when used to stop a second heart attack, likely because of their anti inflammatory effect. There remains some strong disagreement about how much these medications benefit those without heart disease.

Could changes, like eating an apple a day, be just as effective in these cases?

The potential benefit of apples comes out of a study from Oxford University where scientists did a mathematical analysis of research that showed just how much fruit and veggies helped cut heart disease. They found that the benefits to all those over 50 taking statins were about the same as if those people ate a single portion of fruit or veggies each day. So it doesn't have to be an apple. A pear or serving a broccoli will do just as well.

Following this advice would result in 8,500 fewer UK deaths from heart disease; 9,400 fewer if that same population took statin medications. These findings show how important a simple change can be. As could having us all on statin medications.

Doctors have no problem saying all of us should eat more fruits and veggies, but they argue a lot about having all of us taking statin drugs. Earlier work, used in this current calculation, found that even those at low risk of heart disease benefit from statins, while the known side effects, serious muscle problems and diabetes, happened to under one patient in 1,000.

Cholesterol: The Power of Apple Continued...

An article in BMJ strongly criticized the study that's favorable to statins, known as the Cholesterol Treatment Trialist. This analysis was done based on drug company run trials, and those are likely to be biased. Independent studies find that you have to treat as many as 5,000 low risk patients over 60 to prevent just one death from heart disease.

But what if you have high cholesterol? Statins are effective at bringing down cholesterol, but what we don't know is if that brings down heart disease risk. Research finds that 75% of those admitted to a hospital with their first heart attack have normal cholesterol numbers. Medications that only bring down cholesterol have never been shown to reduce heart disease risk.

Two respected organizations, the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology suggest that driving LDL (bad) cholesterol down as low as you can with a statin is not necessarily a good thing. Statins should be used to treat people at true risk such as diabetics (at higher risk of heart disease). You are also a good candidate for treatment in the U.S. if your risk of heart disease over 10 years is over 7% or more over a decade.

Many medical people now think that cholesterol might be a sign that there's a problem, but isn't the cause of that problem.

To your good health,
