The Polypill really isn't new; the idea was launched about 3 years.
Polypill contains 3 BP meds, a statin, aspirin and folic acid.
Seems like overkill...
Slight oversight... risk of dying was not considered in the clinical trials.
There's also a "Polymeal"... much more appealing...
They suggest a person should consume, every day:
* 150 mL of red wine (about half a glass)
* 100 g of dark chocolate
* 400 g of fruits and vegetables
* 2.7 g of garlic
* 68 g of almonds
As well as 118 g of fish per day four times each week.
