Statins and muscle pain. Why is the incidence of side effects from statins so low in clinical trials but appear to be so high out in the real world? Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org’s free newsletter to receive our B12 infographic that covers the latest research takeaways and Dr. Greger’s updated recommendations: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ To understand risks versus benefits, you first have to understand The Actual Benefit of Diet vs. Drugs (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-actual-benefit-of-diet-vs-drugs). I have more videos on statins coming out over the next few months, but if you want to see them now, they are available on a digital download of How Effective Are Statins and Stents? (https://drgreger.org/collections/videos/products/how-effective-are-statins-and-stents-digital), a webinar I did last year on statins and stents. Have a question about this video?

Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org's free e-newsletter and receive a recipe from Dr. Greger's brand-new cookbook, The How Not to Diet Cookbook: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ DESCRIPTION: A study involving more than a million kids suggests the striking worldwide variation in childhood rates of allergies, asthma, and eczema is related to diet. More on preventing allergic diseases can be found in my videos Preventing Childhood Allergies (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-childhood-allergies/) and Preventing Allergies in Adulthood (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-allergies-in-adulthood/). More on protecting lung function with fruits and vegetables can be found in Preventing COPD With Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-copd-with-diet/). Surprised probiotics can affect immune function? Check out my video Preventing the Common Cold with Probiotics? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-the-common-cold-with-probiotics/). And if you think that is wild, wait until you see Gut Feelings: Probiotics and Mental Health (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/gut-feelings-probiotics-and-mental-health/). What might be in plants that's so beneficial? See Anti-inflammatory Antioxidants (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/anti-inflammatory-antioxidants/). What might be in animal products that is harmful to lung function? There are endocrine-disrupting industrial pollutants that build up in the food chain that may be playing a role. See my videos Alkylphenol Endocrine Disruptors and Allergies (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/alkylphenol-endocrine-disruptors-and-allergies/) and Dietary Sources of Alkylphenol Endocrine Disruptors (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-sources-of-alkylphenol-endocrine-disruptors/). Also there's an inflammatory omega-6 fatty acid found predominantly in chicken and eggs that may contribute to inflammation as well. See Inflammatory Remarks About Arachidonic Acid (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/inflammatory-remarks-about-arachidonic-acid/). Choosing fragrance-free personal care products may also help reduce airway reactivity: Throw Household Products Off the Scent (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/throw-household-products-off-the-scent/). If fruit and vegetables are so powerful at preventing allergic diseases, what about treating allergies with plants? Coming right up! My next video is Treating Asthma With Fruits and Vegetables ( http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-asthma-with-fruits-and-vegetables). Then I compare the efficacy of plants to pills (Treating Asthma With Plants vs. Supplements? http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-asthma-with-plants-vs-supplements) and close out this video series exploring the role an entire diet filled with plants might play in Treating Asthma and Eczema With Plant-Based Diets (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-asthma-and-eczema-with-plant-based-diets).
