    I know this sounds really stupid..but wouldn't a little diet, exercise suffice...Giving kids statins once again is the numbers game...reduce all the numbers and what do you have....good health...I to not think so. I think the thought is pretty scary...carol stanley author "For Kids 59.99 and Over"

    The FDA Doesn't seem to be very concerned with protecting our children, or adults for that matter. Big pharmaceutical companies and lobbyists seem to be able to sell whatever they want...Regardless of the effects on the human body. It almost seems as if the stuff that is good for us doesn't get the approval in the US. Do they want us to be sick or healthy??? I guess it brings in more money to keep us dependant on medications.

    My children will not be guinea pigs for the FDA or for big businesses profit. Period.

    What will the kid do for a liver,when about 30to 40 yrs.old.Change the kids diet less pill better life.Statins drugs weaken me,when I took them 3 yrs. ago.Diet change did it. I can open a jar and I feel better,I can't inmagine a kid on this drug.The parents would abet the drug pushers.
