DR. MALCOLM KENDRICK
- Check out his first appearance on this podcast here
- He is a Scottish doctor
- Check out his website here
- He and Vinnie both experienced Wikipedia white-washing
- ‘Vegan warriors’ and the like tried to get him removed for being a ‘cholesterol denialist’
- Believes we are designed to eat animal meat, and it is completely healthy
- He’s, however, not attacked by the vegans like Vinnie is
- Probably an American thing
- He’s been called a ‘statin denier’ by these ridiculous attack groups that don’t know what they’re talking about
- Dr. Kendrick does not think statins are the right course of action
- Statins have horrible side-effects and cholesterol is not necessarily a bad thing
- Conducted and studied many data-driven, credible studies
- Found that those with higher LDL lived longer
- Looked at 19 studies
- People said it was wrong but had no reasons that it was wrong
- Cholesterol can be a good thing
- Saturated fats used in this study
- Cholesterol that stays the same or goes up just a bit up over time is an indication of health
- However, stress and cholesterol can seem related
- Consider things like smoking, though
- Agrees that there was no evidence for all of that ‘science’ the US put out regarding diet and health
- Dr. Kendrick is putting together the true causes of cardiovascular disease and diabetes
- There are so many lies, and he wants to expose the truth
- Also, check out his new book, A Statin Nation, here
