The American Academy of Pediatrics Committee has announced that children should be tested for high cholesterol and children as young as eight should be put on prescription statin drugs. The FDA, in its ongoing drug pushing campaign has granted approval for the use of the statin drugs.

What is the point of this?  To sell more high profit prescription drugs! Big Pharma now sees children as its next area of market growth. They are not content to drug half of all Americans.

I encourage all parents to educate themselves on the risks of statin drugs, provide a healthy diet and exercise program for your child.

Some of the statin drug side effects include:

•   Disruption of hormone production, including sex hormones
•   Severe muscle weakness
•   Loss of cellular energy
•   Mental Confusion
•   Kidney failure
