Jupiter Trial

What a joke. Roughly 100 people need to treat at 2 years to prevent 1 MI. So they extrapolate the data to 5 years and state the NNT is 25?

The cost at 2 years to prevent 1 MI. Let's see, 4 dollars a day, 100 people, 400 dollars a day for 2 years is a grand total of 285000 dollars!!

Not to mention the increase in DM.
