Believed to be completely safe and capable of preventing a whole series of other conditions, statins have become the most profitable drug in the history of medicine. Generally prescribed to lower blood cholesterol levels, the pharmaceutical industry and medical profession champion the concept of 'good' and 'bad' cholesterol convincing millions to turn unnecessarily to statins.
This book takes a look at the clinical 'proof' that links high cholesterol with heart disease and debunks the assumptions on what constitutes a healthy lifestyle and diet. Dr. Kendrick provides an accessible, indispensable case against the use of statins and a more common-sense approach to heart disease and general well-being.
