Chat Title:
Dr. Robert C. Atkins Discusses the Risks of Taking Cholesterol-Lowering
Drugs
Date and Time:
Friday, July 20, 2001 at 12:00 p.m. EST (11:45 am to 1:00 p.m.)
Event Description:
Dr. Atkins will discuss the risks of taking
cholesterol-lowering drugs versus the benefits of following a
controlled carbohydrate nutritional approach to reduce cardiovascular risk
factors. Dr. Atkins will address recent recommendations that could triple
the number of adults taking statin drugs, focusing on potential side
effects, including liver and muscle damage as well as breast and uterine
cancer. A controlled carbohydrate nutritional approach is scientifically
proven to lower cholesterol and help prevent heart attacks.
Dr. Atkins will share his concern that patients are not being presented with
this safe and
effective option.
