Chapter Excerpts
"All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."
German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 – 1860)
The "cholesterol conspiracy" is the perpetuated dogma by pharmaceutical companies and willing accomplices in medical organizations and the media that lowering LDL cholesterol is the solution to reducing heart disease and stroke.
