About this audiobook

This is a 150-year detective story with a cast of unrecognized heroes who may, finally, become known for their work on the true causes of heart disease. Exploring the truth about cholesterol-the apparently tried, and convicted, cause of millions of deaths from heart disease-with billions spent each year on lowering cholesterol with diet and drugs. Is it possible that our villain was simply left holding the gun whilst the true culprits ran and hid? Have they escaped our clutches? Dr. Kendrick also introduces us to a range of other lesser known characters in this tale of selective reporting, data manipulation, and intrigue. The true story of heart disease is out there, and the evidence has been brought together here-a scientific mystery for our time that is ready to unfold.
