Another author jumping on the cholesterol band wagon. You know things are getting a bit much when you have two books with the same name.
Yes hardly eating any fat is bad for you. Yes lets write a book about it and earn a few bob. Yes lets include a rendition of terrible humour.

Kendrick, using the gentleness of wit, delivers ... Read More

If big pharma is fabricating research about cholesterol to convince doctors to prescribe statins to improve your health...how are they in conspiracy??
Do you really think that all the drugs are bad and you are better off with natural remedies...then let me ask you this ....do you think if any of these natural remedies was as wonderful as ... Read More
Rating: - Make up your own mind whether to take statins rather than follow either bias view
"Nobody believes the official spokesman . . . but everybody trusts an unidentified source" R. Nessen
Choose whether to take statins based on the evidence below rather than be swayed by the bias in this book (which I would say is worse than the drug industry) .
Heres a summary of the most important research data
