Interesting stuff. Hope it actually leads to some real investigation.

Haven't had a chance to listen yet, but any interview with Dr Malcolm Kendrick is usually worth listening to

A neat summary.. at the end there's loads of links to studies etc for those of a more sciencey bent but the main text tells it all..

Here’s a link to Dr Aseem Malhotra’s interview on Sky News yesterday:

Editing to say it’s an excellent, 5 minute summary of the cholesterol/ statin problem.

Another must watch/listen - Interview of Dr Malcolm Kendrick by Ivor Cummins, "Fat Emperor":

Many thanks to Bulkbiker and others for this post. I am due to see a lipid Consultant next Tuesday (referred by my Diabetes Consultant) due to my cholesterol being 6.6 (HDL 2.2, trigs 0.5 and the rest LDL). NO family history that would indicate FH but the Diabetes Consultant says in his opinion, that is what he thinks I have. All current glucose levels are good/weight in the middle of the BMI range/exercise every day/don't smoke or drink etc - I say this just to set the scene!). I will be fully armed (because of THIS post) to ask him very direct questions about statins, I would be grateful for any specific questions anyone thinks I should ask!

What’s FH?

 

[Dr Snoddy]

Familial high blood cholesterol.

 

[Mike d]

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited condition that results in high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. ... People who have the familial version will generally have much higher cholesterol levels, as well as heart disease at a much younger age. FH is also known as type 2 hyperlipoproteinemia

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere on the forum, but thought it would fit well here.

Recent update from Dr David Diamond

Excellent lecture full and easy to follow detail.
Last few words of Q&A really struck home.

 

[bulkbiker]

For anyone on a high dose statin .. a frightening possibility

Gotta wonder how much more evidence is required @bulkbiker ....

Interesting article about cholesterol, triglycerides, carbs and heart disease and the buried science of the 60’s

Mess with LDL at your peril...from the great Dr Nadir Ali

This is in no way an endorsement of Dr Berg!

And yet another reason to avoid these things..
