Or so they say.
I took part out of interest. And I knew there was an agenda … A1C among much else not looked at!

So they have one million with healthy cholesterol and the doctors should reverse that to make them all sickly.
Yeah, sounds good to me. :roll_eyes:

Studies show that if everyone took statins from birth, the annual bonuses of pharmaceutical company executives would be the highest in the nation.

When I went for my ‘Health Check’ ran in this ‘Future Health’ study I asked the Dr taking my blood what exactly would they be checking for, I was expecting a broad range of tests.
I hadn’t had a HbA1c for a while so I asked, ‘Will you be testing for HbA1c?’, ‘No’ was the reply! ‘You’ll have to see your GP for that’.
I got the impression they were only interested in Cholesterol and Blood Pressure. In fact they gave me a printout of those figures on the spot!
Sounds like they need to sell some more Cholesterol and BP meds.
