]]> Prior to his death, Robin Williams was put on medication to treat early stage Parkinson’s disease. Actor and friend, Rob Schneider, believes it was that medication that lead to Williams’ death.

Influenced by the sadness that came with the death of his friend, Schneider even called the pharmaceutical industry “evil.”

The opinion of CitizensReport.org is as follows: prescription drugs save lives and better the lives of many, but their danger is real. The multi-billion dollar giants of Big Pharma are handsomely rewarded for all the good they do. They make their money by helping needy citizens, and also by convincing thousands of people to self-diagnose through culling advertisements. Showing happy-go-lucky imagery while reading off dangerous side effects is their way of downplaying the risks that come with their medications. Big Pharma believes they should get off scot-free for the suffering that patients endure at the hands of their medicines. They are wrong.

]]> People on a high-dose regimen of the cholesterol drug Lipitor may have a slightly increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes — particularly if they have several of the classic diabetes risk factors, a study published Monday finds.

A number of studies have linked Lipitor (known generically as atorvastatin) and other cholesterol-lowering statin drugs to a small increase in users’ risk of diabetes.

This latest study, based on data from three large clinical trials, strengthens evidence of a connection.

But it also suggests that the risk may largely exist among people who also have the well-known risk factors for type 2 diabetes — including excess weight, high blood sugar, elevated triglycerides (a type of blood fat) and high blood pressure.

Those four factors appear “very good at distinguishing people at high or low risk for developing new-onset diabetes with atorvastatin,” lead researcher Dr. David D. Waters, of the University of California at San Francisco, told Reuters Health in an email.
