[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 309347, member: 12578"] The first thing I would suggest is as AMBrennan says to discuss with your doctor. They use validated risk calculators that take into account not only cholesterol but your other risk factors such as weight/smoking/blood pressure. You can do this online yourself. This is a recent one from the European Society of cardiologists. (use the demo, high risk because the UK is a high risk country) [url=http://www.heartscore.org/Pages/welcome.aspx]http://www.heartscore.org/Pages/welcome.aspx[/url] (but remember these are risks, we all know of the person who smoked all his life and lived to a long age) Libra Rising suggests some alternative reading, here is some more mainstream: (and unless you truly believe that all scientists are liars or scoundrels .then perhaps,there is a reason for them being mainstream.) Firstly a simple explanation of high cholesterol and CVD. [url=http://www.bupa.co.uk/individuals/health-information/directory/h/high-cholesterol]http://www.bupa.co.uk/individuals/healt ... holesterol[/url] Secondly a blog discussing THINCS (of which M Kendrick is a member). The value of this are the links to sources of evidence . [url=http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/the-international-network-of-cholesterol-skeptics/]http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/ind ... -skeptics/[/url] Thirdly a long (and sometimes rambling) account of the history of CHOLESTEROL, ATHEROSCLEROSIS AND CORONARY DISEASE IN THE UK, 1950–2000 from the scientists themselves. Note the addendum about multifactorial risk factors for heart disease. [url=http://www.history.qmul.ac.uk/research/modbiomed/Publications/wit_vols/44850.pdf]http://www.history.qmul.ac.uk/research/ ... /44850.pdf[/url] Lastly: and this review is a little dated (though no more so than the Taubes book which mostly relies on older references)an article arguing against the THINCS position. (to their credit you can find a full copy hosted on their website, though I can't find that they link with it anywhere) [url=http://www.ravnskov.nu/A%20hypothesis%20Weintraub%B4s%20response.pdf]http://www.ravnskov.nu/A%20hypothesis%2 ... sponse.pdf[/url] The author is a cardiologist: [url=http://www.dbi.udel.edu/People/weintraub.html]http://www.dbi.udel.edu/People/weintraub.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
