The Great Cholesterol Con
Like the vast majority of the population of the first world I have long believed that cholesterol is the major cause of heart disease in the world. Why? Because the doctors, the media, the advertisers, the drugs companies and the people around me say so. So, in an effort to live longer I have moved to semi-skimmed milk, tried to leave the fat on lamb chops and rump steak (to my mind the best part taste-wise) on the side of my plate, have avoided eating more than two eggs in a day and use mostly olive oil in my cooking etc,.
This has made my life not quite as joyful as it could have been so you can imagine my elation when I found out that the whole cholesterol thing is a complete myth and we (including the majority of health professionals) have all been conned for years and years. Why? Because the pharmaseutical industry makes billions of pounds a year selling statins designed to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, to the NHS and global equivalents.
Thanks to the work of Dr. Malcolm Kendrick the whole con has been exposed and the true cause of heart disease has been revealed in his book entitled “The Great Cholesterol Con” available from Amazon and the usual outlets. To me, a confirmed foodie, it is the best news I have heard in a long time. I now eat whatever fatty foods I like without worrying about my heart or feeling guilty and I haven’t even put on any weight.
In a nutshell, the cholesterol from the food we eat that finds its way into our bloodstream has no bearing on heart disease whatsoever – none – zero- zilch! In fact women over 50yrs old shouldn’t be without it and should not take statins full stop according to the good doctor’s research. So what is heart disease and what causes it? If you thought it was “the furring up of your arteries” then you would be wrong. I don’t wish to do Dr. Kendrick out of book sales. This man has stuck his head over the parapet (while the majority of the medical profession keep their heads down and get on with earning a living without rocking the boat – as if they had time anyway) and he deserves his dues.
So, I highly recommend you get yourself a copy of “the Great Cholesterol Con” and find out the truth for yourself. I would be very grateful if you would share your thoughts on this or any other subject with me and the other readers by posting a comment on this site. If you really can’t get a copy of the book then email me and I will tell you what causes heart disease or check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPPYaVcXo1I
Of course there is a whole army of people and organisations with a vested interest in keeping us in the dark and you can see they are running scared when you read their scathing attacks on Dr. Kendrick - just check them out on the web for yourself. All I can say is life for me is sweeter thanks to Dr. Kendrick. I hope yours will be.
I wish you a long life and very good health.

P.S. The book has good news for people who like a drink too!
