I was on the web today researching plant sterols and came across this newsletter that I thought some might be interested in.
The bi-monthly newsletter is written by a team of doctors at the University of British Columbia that looks at the evidence for and against drugs. They publish their findings in a free bi-monthly bulletin called Therapeutics Letter. The latest issue urged doctors to be more mindful of side effects when writing prescriptions for statins. Here is the link to the newsletter: Therapeutics Letter | Therapeutics Initiative.
They cover a broad range of medical topics and while I haven't read the one on statins (it's called Proven and Associated Harms of Statins), any doctor who doesn't wholeheartedly say to jump on the statin bandwagon has my vote. The written newsletters are also available as podcasts.
