Does it bother you that Crestor FUNDED this study?

Crestor costs something like $3.43 / day if I recall the article correctly. I'm waiting till Lipitor goes generic & then get it from Walmart for $4 per month...

Everyone would be better off if they used nutrition to lower CRP levels than to use statins to lower them. This looks like another study done to help drug companies move more product.

Unfortunately, in the US, that's not going to happen until November 2011....
