Pfizer is still fighting and settling lawsuits claiming Lipitor causes type II diabetes. Space Dr. Duane Graveline took Lipitor and claimed it causes memory loss. Let buyers beware.

I'm pretty sure Vitamin D is made from cholesterol. So they artificially lower your cholesterol to make vitamin D production more difficult for your body. And there are a lot of diseases where one of the hallmarks is low Vitamin D, including the kidney disease that I have and several kinds of cancers.
Btw, I typically say that there is no “cold and flu season”. There is only low vitamin D season.
I do think that D is deeply important and that many maladies come from a shortage of it.
