This book was difficult to digest. There are many aspects to statins, from their history to their effects on the human body, all of it very alarming. Statins are mycotoxins. They reduce cholesterol by blocking the mevalonate pathway. Mevalonate produces isoprenoids which are vital for DNA replication and cell production. This alone is alarming enough. But when you consider that cholesterol isn’t the evil killer that doctors and drug companies have made it out to be, it is even worse. The greatest concentration of cholesterol in any organ is in the brain. The brain needs cholesterol in order to function. Why would you want to starve it?

The authors outline the history of statins, the distortions of information, and all of the dirty little secrets. They are very dangerous. Even red yeast rice is not safe as it is a mycotoxin.

If statins interfere with cell DNA and cell replication, and our bodies are constantly replicating cells, why would you want to take them?
