Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing

New treatment works like 'liquid Drano for arteries'

Intravenous doses of a synthetic component of "good" cholesterol reduced artery disease in just six weeks in a small study with startlingly big implications for treating the nation's No. 1 killer.

"The concept is sort of liquid Drano for the coronary arteries," said Dr. Steven Nissen, a Cleveland Clinic cardiologist who led the study.

Sounds great.

But why settle for something that is simply like liquid Drano, when you can get something that actually is liquid Drano, at only $39.48 for a 12-pack? McDonald's could start offering Drano as a beverage option, to clear out all the damage done by that Big Mac you just ordered! ("You want clog remover with that?")

You'd better watch out Reuven, or someone's going to try and sue you once their loved one really does swallow a bottle of artery-clearing liquid drano.

I'd like to think my readership is a bit more intelligent than that. :-)
