The National Institutes of Health recently gave a huge boost to the statin industry when its experts revised cholesterol guidelines saying millions more people could use statins. It wasn't disclosed then, but most of the NIH experts had financial ties to statin drug companies.

Abramson and 30 other doctors and scientists are now asking the NIH for a new, independent review of the cholesterol guidelines promoting statins. They cite one study showing women using statins got slightly more heart disease, not less. Another showed the elderly got no real heart benefits, but did develop more cancer.

He's now considering a lawsuit and hopes his story will make doctors rethink the rush to statins.
