Great Cholesterol Con
Statins are the so-called wonder drugs widely prescribed to lower blood cholesterol levels and claim to offer unparalleled protection against heart disease.Believed to be completely safe and capable of preventing a whole series of other conditions, they are the most profitable drug in the history of medicine.In this groundbreaking book, GP Malcolm Kendrick exposes the truth behind the hype, revealing: high cholesterol levels don't cause heart disease; a high-fat diet - saturated or otherwise - does not affect blood cholesterol levels; and, the protection provided by statins is so small as to be not worth bothering about for most men and all women.Statins have many more side affects than has been admitted and their advocates should be treated with scepticism due to their links with the drugs' manufacturers.Kendrick lambastes a powerful pharmaceutical industry and unquestioning medical profession, who, he claims, perpetuate the madcap concepts of 'good' and 'bad' cholesterol and cholesterol levels to convince millions of people to spend billions of pounds on statins, thus creating an atmosphere of stress and anxiety - the real cause of fatal heart disease.With clarity and wit, "The Great Cholesterol Con" debunks our assumptions on what constitutes a healthy lifestyle and diet. It is the invaluable guide for anyone who thought there was a miracle cure for heart disease, an appeal to common sense and a controversial and fascinating breakthrough that will set dynamite under the whole area.

What is the difference between HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol?
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol is often referred to as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol from the bloodstream, carrying it to the liver where it can be broken down and removed from the body. This process helps prevent the buildup of LDL cholesterol in the arteries, which can lead to heart disease. On the other hand, LDL cholesterol is often referred to as "bad" cholesterol because it can build up in the walls of the arteries, leading to atherosclerosis and an increased risk of heart disease. In general, having higher levels of HDL cholesterol and lower levels of LDL cholesterol is associated with a lower risk of heart disease.

Genetics can also play a role in cholesterol levels, as some people may have a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol. Additionally, certain medical conditions and medications can also contribute to an increase in cholesterol levels.

What are bad cholesterol levels?
Bad cholesterol levels refer to high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood. LDL cholesterol is considered bad because it can lead to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Ideally, LDL cholesterol levels should be below 100 mg/dL, but levels above 130 mg/dL are considered high and may require lifestyle changes or medication to lower. Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels is important for maintaining heart health.
