Lipid Lunacy: Diet delusions and what really causes heart disease

by Paul J. Rosch, Malcolm Kendrick, Zoe Harcombe

This is the second collection of articles from members of The International Network of Cholesterol Sceptics. THINCS is a collection of over 100 medical and academic doctors who are united in one belief – that cholesterol does not cause heart disease. We have many (often different) views on what does cause heart disease, but the life vital substance, made by the body, called cholesterol. isn’t one of them.In March 2019, the fifth King of Organs cardiovascular conference was hosted by Professor Alabdulgader and Professor Rosch and a number of THINCS ’ members delivered presentations. This book is a collation of those presentations, covering many possible causes of heart disease from blood clots to infections and from stress to inflammation. The presentations also addressed saturated fat, the diet-heart hypothesis, cholesterol ‘wars’, statin trials and the global data on population cholesterol levels and mortality. This book will make you feel as if you were at the conference and didn’t miss a thing!

Excellent book, demonstrating the critical difference between relative risk and absolute risk.

Once you learn the difference between relative risk (a % difference) and absolute risk (actual numbers of people ) you realise how apparently significant results of trials are nothing of the sort. They are a way of making results say what the trial runners (not scientists because real science looks for truth) want you to believe. If or when you learn the truth, you are almost certainly going to make different decisions. Too many trials are funded by Big Pharma, who are it seems little different to the tobacco industry. However Big Pharma purports to be aiding your health, when in reality they are making money at the expense of your health.

Every single physician should read this game-changing book. As physicians we need to scrutinize data much more often and thoroughly to ensure our patients are getting what’s truly best for them, and not what’s best for big pharma.

good book on how a study is manipulated to produce a desired outcome

Recommend it for those who want to learn how big drug companies, government agencies and greedy doctors twist/interpret data for profit.
