The Great Cholesterol Con

Product Description

Details:
Statins are the so-called wonder drugs widely prescribed to lower blood cholesterol levels & claim to offer unparalleled protection against heart disease. Believed to be completely safe & capable of preventing a whole series of other conditions, they are the most profitable drug in the history of medicine.

In this groundbreaking book, Malcolm Kendrick exposes the truth behind the hype, revealing: high cholesterol levels dont cause heart disease; a high-fat diet
- saturated or otherwise
- does not affect blood cholesterol levels; &, the protection provided by statins is so small as to be not worth bothering about for most men & all women.

Statins have many more side affects than has been admitted & their advocates should be treated with scepticism due to their links with the drugs manufacturers.

Kendrick lambastes a powerful pharmaceutical industry & unquestioning medical profession, who, he claims, perpetuate the madcap concepts of good & bad cholesterol & cholesterol levels to convince millions of people to spend billions of pounds on statins, thus creating an atmosphere of stress & anxiety
- the real cause of fatal heart disease.

Ideal for:
The invaluable guide for anyone who thought there was a miracle cure for heart disease, an appeal to common sense & a controversial & fascinating breakthrough that will set dynamite under the whole area.
