• The Wall Street Journal reports that doctors and patients have noted several side effects of the most widely prescribed drugs in the U.S. - statins (some brand names are Lipitor, Zocor, and Provachol).
• Some researchers theorize that blocking cholesterol production, as statins do, interferes with the brain's performance and causes muddied thinking and memory loss.
• The article notes that the National Institutes of Health is in the midst of an independent study that will subject statin drugs and their side effects to scientific scrutiny.
