Feeling lucky? <\/p>\n

An analysis of 56 clinical trials<\/b><\/i> found that the diabetes drug Avandia increased the chances of a heart attack by between 28 — 39 percent!! <\/p>\n

So, roll your dice, you diabetics. Ask your doctor is increased risk of heart attack is for you. <\/p>\n

Remember, this study was NOT just of 56 patients … it was from 56 different clinical trials!! Dr. Steven Nissen was the lead scientist and said the results from more than 35,000 patients gave a more complete picture that reinforced his earlier concerns.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“A drug that increases the risk of heart attack by a third or more in diabetics represents a huge public health burden.<\/i>” Nissen is the Cleveland Clinic’s head of cardiology, and said the drug should go off the market.<\/p>\n

The response from GlaxoSmithKline — who makes Avandia — was a big, and I quote, “Nu uh.” They responded that the drug should not be pulled, even though 30 to 40 percent of their customers get heart disease. Nice. <\/p>\n

So, roll the dice. Maybe you won’t be one of the ones with your heart compromised by a drug that this company will NOT pull until the last possible dollar has been brought in the door. Maybe you’ll get lucky. <\/p>\n
