I have a high cholesterol . I have read Dr Malcolms book . It was my ammo to refuse the statins my doctor wanted to prescribe. I am 75. I need my energy, muscle mass , cognition . So thanks for this interview.

Great discussion - please don’t add background music. Not necessary and distracting.

Brilliant presentation. Completely RUINED by background totally unnecessary disrespectful to the speakers. MUSAC?????????? Really?????????????

The high cholesterol diet myth just wont die. I still see it all the time. Inflammation from high glucose is the cause

I see someone else has complained about the background music. Older people, like me, may have hearing deficit, like me, resulting in what's known as lack of auditory discimination. You are unable to listen to two things at the same time. Shame, because I was enjoying it.

The first question that needs to be asked about any peer reviewed, double blind, and randomized study is: WHO PAID FOR THE STUDY. The second question is whether the results trumpeted are relative risk reduction or absolute risk reduction.

You in the U.K. are so far ahead of us in the U.S. in the statin war.

'Statin' being an apt name for a medication that renders so many significant bodily processes static.

The nurse practitioner in my MD's office thinks that statins should be put in the water because it saves so many lives. I simply looked at her and e-mailed her Dr. Kendrick's book

Please let the Doctors speak.

Got a lot of info from this. Love Dr Kendrick. His newest book “The Clot Thickens” explains everything really well.

Absolutely brilliant 👏 and so refreshing to hear a different point of view.

I have read the cholesterol con and it was my ammo when my doctor wanted to put me on medication to lower my 267 cholesterol number. I am 75 .

Good stuff from Dr Kendrick i will get his books. I could have done without the piano muzak very distracting.

was put on statins 2 months ago , after a month my hair started to fall out and i had a awful rash when i went in the sun to get some vitamin d and i felt numb apart from muscle problems . came off them a week ago and already feel back to myself . also my vision was effected . also i did feel oh i am ok im on statins i can do what i want !. now i have started a health kick on good foods and vitamins .

Dr. MK is an angel of God.

Purchasing ice cream at beach causes sharks to attack humans.

The insidious background "music" is distracting, eerie sounding, bothersome, and completely unnecessary. Absolutely destroys the imparting of information. I'll be tuning in to different video now.....

12:00 I was on Simvastatin for 3 months in total. I had rhabdomyalisis. One symptom is brown urine. At the time, I was indoor rowing several times each week and active in the gym, but doing nothing unusual/ different for me. Add to the above, severe muscle pains, exhaustion after a good night's sleep and I had good reason to quit after further research which showed that fitter people are at higher risk. Never again!

Great conversation. I could definitely do without the Muzak.

Excellent indeed! But couldn't listen to the end because of that bloody music......why?

It's not how long you live that counts. It's for how long you're lively. Consider the following two 'identical' (monzygotic) twins, who - all other life exeperiences being equal, differ in the following respect. One lives to age 86 and enjoys excellent health throughout. The other lives to 96, but since age 80 has had no idea who he or she even is, 'thanks' to cognitive impairment. Which life would you rather have lived?

I don’t understand what he said about France and drop od heart attacks for a week at 36:95 can someone please explain?

As well as increasing salt - especially sea salt with other minerals too, and my favourite is Redmond Real Salt; as well as not smoking - and I count myself grateful for never having done so; as well as eliminating sugar - I avoid as I'm Type 1 diabetic (or at least keep to a minimum given that I do succumb, though fortunately rarely, to the odd sugar craving which I find a real bane); as well as being relaxed and enjoying leisurely outdoor activity, my most regular being long walks; and as well as having a good social network, may I be presumptuous enough to suggest one more? GOOD and PLENTIFUL SLEEP.

That background music! Horrible!

Excellent, but lose the awful music. Soooo annoying.

Statins only reduce risk by 1% according to their own data (Lipitor). The 34% figure is relational percentage. In a large study (per Lipitor ad) folks taking a placebo had a 3% 'risk' of contracting CVD compared to the 2% risk of CVD for those taking Lipitor....that's a 1% difference. What the drug companies did was divide the 1% difference between the two groups divided by the 3% figure yielding 34%. This formula to present a larger number doesn't even make sense. Furthermore, the number of people in the study that actually contracted CVD was about 1% and there was no actual evidence that cholesterol was the culprit. There is also a very large studies that show just as many folks with 'perfect' cholesterol (LDL) have heart attacks as those with high LDL levels...and most of those with low LDL that had a cardiac event did not survive.

The higher your chol level the longer you will live? And lower more likely to develop alzheimers etc. But also saying Low is a sign of some dis-eases.Big question for me is the comment that said about statins lowering chol. and extending life and it was only a couple of days. I am NOT concerned about extending my life - I am 72. I AM concerned about avoiding STROKE and DEMENTIA I likely won't take statins. But I am trying to lower cholesterol naturally with plant sterols and red rice yeast and niacin. Is the lowering of cholesterol as understood going to help prevent stroke for example.

Doesn't cortisol increase insulin?

Looks like a QVC show

Coka Cola makes me feel good. Sadly, I don't have anymore

Anti SSRI data was very informative.

All to often medical reasearch is driven by economic interests, not health.

So if don't are so over the moon about most people, and struggle to communecate on a interesting level, you gonna die 15 years sooner? Well then myself are not going to be old! I must belive there are other factors😮

Are you talking about people with soft plaques and that they should give up statins. Or even if you change your life style, lose weight cut out carbs and eat more fat, you should still take them.

Is Kendo pregnant?

An answer to your Q Dr Kendrick; men suffer more stress, caring for their women. 😳😂

Terrible soundtrack - unnecessary background and over bassy vocal

COVENTRY!!! Hmmm? Sorry

What a load of crap.
