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. Clearly and comprehensively debunking assumptions on what constitute a healthy lifestyle and diet, "The Great Cholesterol Con" is the accessible, indispensable and absorbing case against statins and for a more common-sense approach to heart disease and general wellbeing. No more over-hyped miracle drugs; no more garlic, red wine, anti-oxidants, fruit or vegetables; even a vegetarian diet is rejected in this controversial yet authoritative critique of how we have been mislead over how food and drugs affect our coronary health. Here, for the first time, is the invaluable guide for anyone who though there was a miracle cure for heart disease, "The Great Cholesterol Con" is a fascinating breakthrough that will set dynamite under the whole area.

Lectura mprescindible para todos, y especialmente para investigadores, médicos y para quien escriba sobre ciencia

Por tu propia salud --física y mental-- te interesa leer este libro. Incluso si no te llegases a creer lo que cuenta el autor, te hará pensar, te dará otro punto de vista muy interesante, y tendrás que plantearte cuál puede ser el verdadero origen de los problemas. Es muy importante que cuando las explicaciones que se dan a ciertos problemas reales no son capaces de resistir un análisis científico, alguien tiene que levantar la voz para denunciarlo, y hacernos ver que lo que nos han venido contando no sea, muy probablemente, la respuesta correcta: la respuesta científica no puede ser que ese caso es una paradoja (que tiene lugar en millones de individuos).

Antes de leer este, recomendaría leer su otro libro "Doctoring Data: How to sort out medical advice from medical nonsense". Y después de este, no te pierdas "The Great Cholesterol Myth: Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won't Prevent Heart Disease-and the Statin-Free Plan That Will", de Sinatra y Bowden. Después de leer esos tres libros tendrás mucha más información sobre cosas que deberían importarte: sobre tu vida y la de quienes te rodean, y que te permitirán tomar decisiones de una forma más razonada.

Bloody. Brilliant. Knocks a mountain of so called facts into perspective and makes utter sense. It’s a masterpiece and written with a great sense of humour to boot. But the message is dynamite and leads you on to other stuff (eg Robert Lustig ) . I now eat bacon and eggs for breakfast and to hell with my LDL-C ! In time the current dogma will be overthrown and MK will be recognised as one of the lone voices crying out in the wilderness....who was bloody right.

He/she probably still thinks cholesterol and saturated fat has something to do with coronary heart disease. This book shows clearly that it isn't. Cholesterol is important for brain function

GP's get paid bonuses for the the more statins they prescribe - statins are dangerous and do not prolong life - this book shows you the evidence.

Kendrick's view is that CHD is the result of stress raising cortisol levels - and gives the evidence to support his view.

An excellent book, written in a jocular fashion. I would have liked a detailed and concise summary at the end, as there is a lot to digest in the book

Buy it! We have been led a disastrous nutritional dance over the last 50 years or more, by food manufacturers, and it's killing us in large numbers. Saturated Fat was NEVER the problem. Transfats and Sugar/glucose are toxic to humans however. Other important books are John Yudkin's "Pure White and Deadly" and "The Case Against Sugar". Read both as soon as you can. Also if you know anyone with diabetes, read "Diabetes Unpacked" as well. Read up on this subject and ignore the main stream opinion created and ruled by big business who promote rubbish to eat because their profits are bigger.

Set aside your ASSumptions and read this book

Great work documenting the scam that is Lipitor and the overblown cholesterol scare. This Doc tells it like it is, and has both the brains to REALLY dissect a medical research paper and the WISDOM to not get tricked up by the 'everybody says so, must be true' herd thinking. A great step in the right direction. Medicine will probably acknowledge what he is says as 'obvious' in, oh, maybe 100 years.

Written in a way that is more or less easy to understand although sometime I didn't always think his sense of humour might be appreciated by some readers it did make you feel less like one of the medical gods had floated down from Mount Olympus. My husband has been on statins for nearly ten years because he suffers from Proteinuria I think the idea is that by reducing the HDL and LDL his body naturally produces it might protect his kidneys, although this is a guess because this has never been explained. He was initially on Simvastatin which gave him a hacking cough, constantly spit up jelly fish and he'd cough so hard he was sick.
He's now on Atorvatatin as well as Candestatan. He has an overall cholesterol count of 1.8mm and I've felt uneasy about this so I down loaded this book. I now feel that some of the symptoms I've been aware of for years are the result of taking the stations. He's complained of his muscles hurting and being generally exhausted for years. After work he'd come home so tiered he couldn't speak and generally his energy levels were low and he'd sleep till two or three in the afternoon if he could. Prior to being on the stations he was like the energy bunny he'd just keep going. I know we slow down but this has been more than that. His moods have also changed and he has been depressed and sometimes aggressive and unlike himself. Everyone assures you stations are safe and these things have nothing to do with the stations. I am now so convinced that they are causing harm I have talked him in to stopping taking them. He sees the kidney specialist next month and unless he can show me that the protein in his urine is dramatically less with the statins I'm now feeling like I have the ability to argue against him taking them.
If you have your own concerns I would recommend this book, but you still have to make the decision yourself as to how sure you are that they are doing more harm than good.
