Subject: RE: BS: Statins: Your Experience
Has anyone read 'The Great Cholesterol Con' by Dr Malcolm Kendrick?It's very well researched and full of scientific data, quoting research papers from extremely reputable sources. It concludes that there is NO scientific evidence for a link between cholesterol and heart disease etc, and the terms 'good' and 'bad' cholesterol are not founded on any solid basis of proof. He also points out that Statins are a multi-billion pound industry, making huge profits for the major drug companies. I think anyone seriously considering the whole 'Cholesterol Problem' should at least read this book, as it may help in understanding the science behind it all. One can then make an informed decision about what to do, what to take etc.
