Ravnskov peels away the layers of misconceptions in this highly absorbing book. Highly recommended, especially if you know someone who is 'watching their cholesterol' for no good medical reason. A reader from Oxfordshire

I am a physician and felt this book was very educational.... I think Ravnskov proves his point well. So well that I have taken my husband off his statin even with a cholesterol of 320. This is a must read for anyone whose doctor is trying to put them on a statin.  D.A.Pacheco  

I've studied science and the scientific method for many years, and I get a nice, fuzzy feeling inside when reading a book of such quality as this. Anyone interested in human nutrition and diet, low-carb life styles and the intricacies of science and vested interests in a market economy must read this science thriller. Jesper Vad

I've seen Dr. Ravnskov give talks to three large U.S. medical audiences and you could feel the collective relief that here we have a widely published fellow doctor who has analyzed the science and found cholesterol not to be a cardiovascular boogie man - which, in their hearts they knew but may have doubted. Eddie Vos  

Uffe Ravnskov definitely seems to be one of those rare people who can see past the hype and the pressure from his peers to accept the consensus. David Hoddell

This book should be read by everyone, especially doctors and especially those who specialize in cardiology…..The Cholesterol Myths is simply a must-read.
P.S. I did confront my cardiologist, and he declined comment. I have a new one now....Andrew Fischer  

This is a very well written and researched book. The beauty of it is that Ravnskov uses the medical researchers own studies and data to refute their own findings. In other words, he did not fabricate this story. The medical researchers fabricated it for him. Gaetan Lion

What makes this book compelling is Ravnskov's careful avoidance of accusations and ad-hominem attacks, and his heavy reliance on facts. Gerald M. Vrooman

Breathtaking page after page of detailed evidence piled upon evidence, analyzed with clear scientific logic and honesty. I moved the Lipitor from the kitchen drawer to the garbage can. JD

I read the book, I am re-reading the book, and will do so again. It is full of hard facts - but it reads like a suspense story. Dr. Ravnskov's method of analyzing a topic is so elegantly comprehensive and instructive - it makes the book a worthwhile read even if one disagrees with the author (which I do not). Ari Meisel

I have read many books on cholesterol from the very good to the very bad. But Ravnskov's book on cholesterol is the most credible publication available on this subject and a `must read' for anyone worried about cholesterol. ...this book is in a different league from all others. Frank Cooper

I have to give it 5 stars because it is such an important book. D. DeMers

What emerges is a medical 'science' that lacks any credibility and a healthy skepticism about medical advice. ...Ravnskov is no crank or outsider, and his desire to explain the details and complications of epidemiological studies without oversimplification is refreshing, honest, and winning. R. Apte

This book should be mandatory reading for all cholesterol researchers and medical practitioners. However, thanks to the influence of the 'Cholesterol Cartel', most of these individuals will continue to remain blissfully unaware of the true facts surrounding the lipid hypothesis. Individuals wanting to learn the real facts will therefore have to educate themselves, and Ravnskov's book is an excellent place to start. t-rone

If you are concerned about staying healthy and living longer -- and are willing to cope with information which goes against orthodox dogma -- I beg you to read this book. D.R. Schryer

Usually when someone writes a book like this criticizing the medical establishment, the establishment attacks back with vengeance. I have seen that in many reviews of similar books at Amazon.com. But surprisingly not this one! …. Where are you the mainstream doctors? We want to hear your opinions about this book too. A. Kabir

If anyone is greedy, it's this jerk who wrote a book just to make a quick buck and a quick name for himself. Gadgester
