Description & Specifications

Statins are the so-called "miracle" drugs widely prescribed to lower blood cholesterol levels and are claimed to offer unique protection against heart disease. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick reveals the truth behind the hype, demonstrating that high cholesterol levels do not cause heart disease, a high-fat diet does not affect cholesterol levels, and the protection offered by statins is so minimal that it is not worth it for most men and all women. Statins have far more side effects than admitted, and their proponents should be met with skepticism due to their ties with the companies that manufacture them. Kendrick criticizes a powerful pharmaceutical industry and an indifferent medical community, who, he argues, perpetuate the misconceptions about "good" and "bad" cholesterol and cholesterol levels to convince millions of people to spend billions on statins, thus creating an atmosphere of anxiety - the real cause of deadly heart diseases. With clarity and humor, "The Great Cholesterol Con" challenges our assumptions about what constitutes a healthy lifestyle and diet. It is the invaluable guide for those who thought there was a miracle cure for heart diseases, a call for reason, and a controversial take on the issues that will trigger a stir throughout the field.
