Sun, 16 November 2008 Big Money, Bad Science - What's the Best Way to Prevent Heart Disease? This week the JUPITER study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. It is being haled in the lay press as a study that may fundamentally change how we approach the prevention of heart disease. It could result in millions of additional people being prescribed cholesterol-lowering drugs. Is it good science or good marketing?
