Linking To, Excerpting From, And Embedding Dr. Nick Norwitz’ “Statins Slash GLP-1 Levels: Human Cointrolled Trial” With Links To Two Additional Resources

In addition to today’s resource, please review:

• Statins aggravate insulin resistance through reduced blood glucagon-like peptide-1 levels in a microbiota-dependent manner [PubMed Abstract] [Full-Text HTML] [Full-Text PDF]. Cell Metab. 2024 Feb 6;36(2):408-421.e5. doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2023.12.027.

Today, I review, link to, excerpt from, and embed Dr. Nick Norwitz‘
Statins Slash GLP-1 Levels: Human Controlled Trial.

All that follows is from the above resource.

Human trial data published in a major journal show that statins cause insulin resistance and deplete GLP-1 levels in humans. This should have been breaking news! Why is no one talking about it? Why don’t doctors know? Why aren’t patients being informed about the risks?
