The problem with the link is it doesn't compare cinnamon to Lipitor or any other statin (Lipitor belongs to a class of drugs called statins). From the link:
No mention of Lipitor or any other statin in the design and methods.
The other thing is you seem unaware that a study with only 60 people is quite weak. I just happen to obtain a copy of the above study. The control group (placebo group three) for the group that received the highest dosage had average LDL levels changed from 3.03 mmol/l (zero day), 3.15 mmol/l (20 day), 3.28 mmol/l (40 day), and 3.36 mmol/l (60 day). So the control group had an overall change of 0.33 mmol/l over the 60 day trial.
OTOH, the group that received the highest dose had average LDL levels changed from 2.87 mmol/l (zero day), 2.56 mmol/l (20 day), 2.59 mmol/l (40 day), and 2.72 mmol/l (60 day) with a difference between the highest and lowest LDL levels being 0.31 mmol/l.
If you didn't notice the change in the placebo group had a larger change than the test group. The placebo group is the baseline for measuring the effect. The variance in the placebo group (the 0.33 mmol/l) is indicitive of the noise which is rather close to the changes in the test group. IOW, there is far too much noise in the data to draw any conclusions at all which is not that unusual for such a small sample size.
By comparison this Three meta-analyses show statins to be far more effective at reducing LDL colesterol.
It should also be noted that statins have the additional effect of raising HDL cholesterol levels, the so called good cholesterol.
That is what the quacks want you to believe. It is actually the opposite.
