Download The Great Cholesterol Con: The Truth About What Really Causes Heart Disease and How to Avoid It AudioBook Free
Statins are the so-called wonder drugs widely approved to lower blood vessels cholesterol levels and claim to offer unrivaled protection against cardiovascular disease. Believed to be completely safe and with the capacity of preventing a complete series of other conditions, they are the most profitable medicine in the history of medicine. In this ground-breaking work, GP Malcolm Kendrick exposes the truth behind the media hype, revealing: raised chlesterol levels don't cause cardiovascular disease; a high-fat diet - saturated or otherwise - does not affect blood vessels cholesterol levels; and, the safety provided by statins is so small as to be not worthwhile bothering about for most men and all women. Statins have a lot more side affects than has been admitted and their advocates should be cured with scepticism due to their links with the drugs' manufacturers. Kendrick lambastes a robust pharmaceutical industry and unquestioning medical occupation, who, he promises, perpetuate the madcap principles of 'good' and 'bad' cholesterol and cholesterol levels to influence millions of men and women to spend vast amounts of pounds on statins, thus creating an atmosphere of anxiety and stress - the real reason behind fatal cardiovascular disease. With clearness and wit, "The Great Cholesterol Con" debunks our assumptions on what takes its healthy lifestyle and diet. It's the invaluable guide for anyone who thought there is a miracle cure for cardiovascular disease, an appeal to common sense and a controversial and fascinating breakthrough that will place dynamite under the whole area.
