Re: Cocaine and heart-attacks

I don't know from where the 80-fold increased risk of heart attack figure is derived.

Well it could be derived from actuarial tables of some specific demographic. Like the % of young men who die of a heart attack vs the % of cocaine using young men. The % of cocaine users in the population of young men could also be selectively chosen. They could easily back this up with some statistics. Or just make it up to scare people. That works too.
