STATINS CAN REDUCE GUM INFLAMMATION TOO!
Much has been made of late about the connection between heart disease and gum disease.


However, it seems that tackling arterial inflammation also significantly reduces inflammation of the gums in as little as four weeks.
A team of researchers led by Ahmed Takawol at Massachusetts General Hospital studied low and high dose statin users given atorvastatin over a 12 week period. In the high dose group, not only was there a dramatic reduction in heart disease but an improvement in the level of gum disease present in the patients.
Here is another piece of evidence showing how the body works as a whole and that disease in one place can have knock on effects elsewhere.
