Well after googling Dr. Kendrick i came across this -
http://www.curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=822300 , were he says
" The protection provided by statins is so small as to be not worth bothering about for most people (and all women). The reality is that the benefits have been hyped beyond belief. " and also -
" In fact, what many major studies show is that as far as protecting your heart goes, cutting back on saturated fats makes no difference and, in fact, is more likely to do harm ". also this -
" Added to this, the biggest ever trial on dietary modification put 50 million people on a low saturated fat diet for 14 years.
Sausages, eggs, cheese, bacon and milk were restricted. Fruit and fish, however, were freely available. I?m talking about rationing in Britain during and after World War Two. In that time, deaths from heart disease more than doubled. "

Certainly makes one think, my doc said my total cholestrol was 5.0, i asked what my LDL cholestrol was and he said 3.5, i didn't get to ask about my tricyclerides unfortunatly, but i know last time it was 1.3.
