　　Free Statins With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk

　　 Fast food outlets could provide statin drugs free of   51   so that customers can reduce the heart disease dangers of fatty food, researchers at Imperial College London   52   in a new study.

　　Statins reduce the   53    of unhealthy “LDL” cholesterol in the blood. A wealth of trial data has proven them to be highly effective at lowering a person’s heart attack  54   .

　　In a paper published in the American Journal of Cardiology, Dr Darrel Francis and colleagues calculate that the reduction in heart attack risk offered by a statin is  55   to offset the increase in heart attack risk from     56    a cheeseburger and drinking a milkshake.

　　Dr Francis，from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London，who is the senior author of the study, said: “Statins don’t cut out a11 of the  57    effects of cheeseburgers and French fries. It’s better to avoid fatty food altogether. But we’ve worked out that in terms of your    58   of having a heart attack. Taking a statin can reduce your risk to more or less the same    59    as a fast food meal increases it.”  “It’s ironic that people are free to take as many unhealthv condiments in fast food outlets as they    60  , but statins, which are beneficial to heart health, have to be prescribed. It makes sense to make risk-reducing statins available just as easily as the unhealthy condiments that are   61    free of charge. It would cost less than 5 pence per  62   －not much different to a sachet of sugar.” Dr Francis said.

　　 When people engage in risky behaviours like driving or smoking, they’re encouraged to take  63   that lower their risk, 1ike  64   a seatbelt or choosing cigarettes with filters. Taking a statin is a rational way of    65    some of the risks of eating a fatty meal.
