I have just started reading a book called the great cholesterol con by Dr Malcolm Kendrick, admittedly this is quite an old book now but he seems to make a pretty good job of demolishing the whole idea of cholesterol having anything to do with heart disease. I have to say that I found this quite interesting because it goes against everything we have been told..... but then so does lchf and I have had great success with that. I am sure that lots of people on here will have read this book but for anyone interested, if you have a kindle it is available for 99p. The next time my GP mentions statins I intend to refer him to this book as Dr Kendrick shows some  startling correlations between overall mortality rates and low cholesterol, as if cholesterol, especially as we get older, maybe affords us some protection from other things? I have not finished the book yet and I freely admit a lot of it is over my head, but I know there are a lot of learned people on this forum and if any of you have read this book and hold any firm opinions on the subject I would love to hear them! Thanks for reading, Chris.</p></blockquote><p></p>
