100NO 522: Cholesterol, wonder drugs & media manipulation

There's movement at the station in the alternative medical solutions to statins for high cholesterol (which more than 1.5 million Aussies are diagnosed with).    Hailed as a game-changer, we discuss whether such "medical breakthroughs" do anything to change our behaviour, or just give humanity another reason to believe in a "magic pill".    Do the true causes of high cholesterol ever get addressed, and how does the way we are "educated" by the media about such issues impact our behaviour?   We hope you enjoy this conversation on cholesterol, wonder drugs and media manipulation.
