This article is very readable and covers a lot of important material. A few of my favorite points below:

“Cardiologist and Editor in chief of JAMA internal medicine, Professor Rita Redberg pertinently points out “ cholesterol is just a lab number, who cares about lowering cholesterol unless it actually translates into a benefit for patients?”
-Seriously! Is the point of medicine to prop up vanity metrics or make people healthier? One big problem I see is that the medical community lacks a definition of “health” that’s as clear and measurable as CrossFit’s definition of “fitness”. Lifespan is a meager proxy for health and Big Pharma can’t even aim for that.

“If you strip down the statin trials to their moving parts, the data actually reveals that, even in those who have established heart disease, the benefits are very small. Even in this high risk group, the average increase in life expectancy from taking the drug religiously for five years is a meagre four days.”
-An extra 4 days of old age doesn’t seem like a fair trade for 5 years of muscle pain, memory loss and a limp…

“Eminent French Cardiologist Professor Michel De-Lorgeril, points out that since more stringent regulations on reporting of clinical trials were introduced in 2006 only one statin, Rosuvastatin, has been tested in clinical trials. It demonstrated no benefit at all in four trials, and these included a significant number of patients with established heart disease.”
-So, when Big Pharma can no longer fudge the numbers, the benefits disappear? This is “the Mess” CrossFit Health has been exposing over the past year.

This article, written by a medical professional, should be required reading by age 21 for everyone, worldwide. All the ingredients to begin liberation from the government-pharmaceutical axis are present: the hidden, predatory culture of drug companies, complicit scientists and regulators, and possibly the biggest of the nutritional "cons" perpetrated since the early 20th century: the lack of science behind the demonization of saturated fat. Against the background of the overwhelming misinformation campaign behind statins, Dr. Malhotra succinctly indicts  the increasingly scurrilous profession of "nutritional science" along with big pharma. Share with all your friends. 

It seems like he is concerned with existentialism and maybe the first stages of depression.
