Previously I reported that Avandia is responsible for liver failure and deaths. Now come even more bad news about the drug that seniors with diabetes are more likely to develop heart failure and die.

It is already known that Avandia hinders bone formation. Due to concerns about its safety Avandia has a black box warning but the FDA has refused to recall Avandia.

Public Citizen has been pleading with FDA to ban Avandia.

While I initially reported all the dangers of Crestor and why Crestor should be banned, there is some bizarre development that the drug is so good that we should all be taking it whether we have any cholesterol or heart problems.

Dr. W. Douglas Weaver has found that people with low cholesterol and no big risk for heart disease had dramatically lower rates of heart attacks, death and stroke if they took Crestor. Other drugs that are similar to Crestor are Lipitor and Zocor.

Before you start to get all excited about the option of taking a pill while being able to all the unhealthy, fatty foods and getting no exercise, I would suggest that you consider the long-term benefits of diet and exercise. It has been demonstrated that the healthiest way to live is to eat organic, nutrient-rich, low caloried foods with lots of vegetables. Not only will you age slowly you will also live longer. Plus, you will never experience the side effects of drugs. Chances are that if you follow a healthy lifestyle you will never need to take a single pill in your life.

Avandia causes liver failure deaths

Despite numerous complaints about Avandia being a dangerous drug, nothing much has happened. Public Citizen has filed another petition asking the FDA to ban the deadly drug.

Only if GlaxoSmithKline would care. "We do not believe there is a connection between liver toxicity and this medicine," the company said.

A review of FDA data shows as many 14 cases of severe drug-induced liver failure, including 12 deaths. The drug is already known to cause heart failure, fractures and vision loss.
