Description
Today, in the era of the statins (cholesterol lowering drugs), there is no longer any doubt about the value of lowering blood cholesterol
levels. This book chronicles the controversy that swirled around the 'lipid hypothesis' of atherosclerosis for so many years. In fact,
'the lower the better' is the position of many clinicians. However, getting to this point has been a long uphill battle marked by heated
debate and sometimes violent disagreement. The history of this controversy is told here for its own sake and because remembering it may
help us avoid similar mistakes in the future.
