The Life Insurance Market

Fast food fans should still consider critical illness insurance even if burger chains start offering statins amongst the condiments.
According to researchers at Imperial College London, a dose of the drug "can reduce your [heart attack] risk to more or less the same degree as a fast food meal increases it."
However, Dr Darrel Francis, who led the study, remarks that statins won't cut out all the unhealthy effects of fast food and it’s better to avoid fatty food altogether.
Whilst statins are generally safe, they could increase the risk of muscle weakness and possible kidney or liver problems, according to Professor Steve Field of the Royal College of General Practitioners.
So even if the possible 'cure' to fast food could prove harmful, it's still a good idea to get critical illness insurance.
