I looked around Anthony Colpo's (independent researcher and certified fitness consultant) website. He makes a lot of claims that lack scientific backup (sort of like you) and yet is so sure of other claims that are contrary to studies (studies which, of course, he easily discounts, like you). I'd say his views are just as one-sided and misleading as those he purports to fight against. L.

From: Sharon Hope on 15 Oct 2005 16:55 Some specifics, excerpted from the article, specific to the Meta Analysis: "The authors should have emphasized, in a clear and concise manner, that the reduction in overall mortality observed in clinical trials ONLY applies to two clearly defined patient subgroups: middle aged-males with existing heart disease and diabetics. But they didn't." .... "As I have stated repeatedly on this site, the clinical trial experience with statins is next to useless when assessing the safety of statins among the general population...These trials exclude groups that comprise a significant proportion of the real world population, and can hardly be taken as a realistic barometer for the expected incidence of side effects in the general population." .... "The fact remains that individuals free of heart disease, females, and the elderly have NOT been shown to enjoy any overall mortality benefit from statins whatsoever. No so-called 'responsible' commentator should recommend these drugs to such groups, especially when far less toxic natural cardio-protective strategies (exercise, low-glycemic load and antioxidant-rich diets, omega-3 supplementation, etc) are readily available.
