Dementia risk from sleeping tablets: Pensioners on pills taken by 1.5m are 50% more likely to be hit, warns Harvard study | Mail Online

Taken from front page of mail today is it wrong? or a reason to mistrust medication like Statins which get mixed opinions.

I believe recently beta blockers received bad press too?

Will statins be making the headlines too in the future? or is there nothing to worry about with statins?
As medically non qualified people are we right to question long term use of drugs when reports like this seem to occur more and more often?

Even fit people over a certain age are being advised into mass medication with an over 50s pill but for whos benefit?
