Free Statins With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk
Fast food outlets could provide statin drugs free of 51 so that customers can reduce the heart disease dangers of fatty food, researchers at Imperial College London 52 in a new study.
Statins reduce the 53 of unhealthy ”LDL” cholesterol in the blood. A wealth of trial data has proven them to be highly effective at lowering a person’s heart attack 54 .
In a paper published in the American Journal of Cardiology，Dr Darrel Francis and colleagues calculate that the reduction in heart attack risk offered by a statin is 55 to offset the increase in heart attack risk from 56 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 57 effects of cheeseburgers and French fries. It’s better to avoid fatty food altogether. But we’ve worked out that in terms of your 58 of having a heart attack. Taking a statin can reduce your risk to more or less the same 59 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 60 , but statins, which are beneficial to heart health, have to be prescribed. It makes sense to make risk-reducing statins available just as easily as the unhealthy condiments that are 61 free of charge. It would cost less than 5 pence per 62 -not much different to a sachet of sugar.” Dr Francis said.
When people engage in risky behaviours like driving or smoking, they’re encouraged to take 63 that lower their risk, 1ike 64 a seatbelt or choosing cigarettes with filters. Taking a statin is a rational way of 65 some of the risks of eating a fatty meal.
