Albany, NY – If you've been diagnosed with high cholesterol, chances are your doctor has prescribed a Statin...a drug that works by blocking a substance your body needs to make cholesterol. But a new study shows that Statins may help even those with normal cholesterol, but other risk factors. On today's Health Show, we'll get the results of the JUPITER Statin trials.
We'll also learn about a proposed new state law in Vermont that would shine a light on the amount of gifts doctors receive from drug companies. And we'll hear why Dr. Stephanie Beling is flummoxed over the lifestyle led by many cancer survivors.
