If you have been told that you must take statins or risk a devastating heart attack or stroke, you need to read this book.

"Dr Kendrick, a well-known statin sceptic and author of the bestselling The Great Cholesterol con, has returned to the diet-heart-cholesterol battlefield to warn that people are being conned. It is clear that statins are not all that is claimed for them... Commonly viewed as a wonder-drug, in reality, as this book shows, they increase life expectancy by a negligible amount, while adverse effects are all too often concealed. The way to avoid heart disease and strokes, is simple - but it has nothing to do with lowering cholesterol levels"--Back cover.
