This book is a must read for anyone interested in heart health. If you ask around your circle of friends you will easily find someone who is a statin drug. The most common one is Lipitor. Written by a GP who is very sceptical about the use of Statins to provide heart health. Statins are widely prescribed to lower blood cholesterol levels and claim to offer unparalleled protection against heart disease. Believed to be completely safe and capable of preventing a whole series of other conditions, they are the most profitable drug in the history of medicine. In this groundbreaking book, GP Malcolm Kendrick exposes the truth behind the hype. He will change the way we think about cholesterol forever. Rubbishing the diet-heart hypothesis, in which clinical trials ‘prove’ that high cholesterol causes heart disease and a high-fat diet leads to heart disease, Kendrick lambastes a powerful pharmaceutical industry and unquestioning medical profession, who, he claims, perpetuate the madcap concepts of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ cholesterol and cholesterol levels to convince millions of people to unnecessarily spend billions of pounds on statins. If after reading this you are considering changing or adapting your medication, please do so in consultation with your GP. “This website contains general information about medical conditions and treatments.
