Saturated Fat is Good for You - by Dr.Uffe Ravnskov M.D.

Dr. Uffe Ravnskov M.D. has written a series of three articles provocatively titled: Saturated Fat is Good for You.

In this series Dr. Ravnskov states:

"Saturated fat is the type of fat that dominates in milk, cream and cheese. Therefore, most authorities warn against them and recommend low-fat milk, even for children. But where is the evidence? Is cream really poisonous?""Saturated fat doesn't raise cholesterol even in trials where saturated fat constituted 20 - 50% of total calories.""How come that still today saturated fat is seen as a menace to health? What is the evidence? The truth is that there is none."Saturated Fat is Good for You - Part 1 of 3

Books by Dr Duane Graveline MD MPH

"The Statin Damage Crisis" by Dr Duane Graveline M.D.

Dr Graveline's third book on statins called "The Statin Damage Crisis" is now available.

Originally planned as a new edition to "Statin Drugs Side Effects," it has been released as a stand alone title so that the highly relevant material in "SDSE" will still be available.Dr Graveline wrote the following introduction to this latest title: Early on my NASA doctors told me my amnesia response to statins was nothing but a coincidence but I persevered to write my first book, "Lipitor, Thief of Memory" and now find that over 1,000 cases of amnesia and memory loss have been reported to the FDA, just from Lipitor alone. Then I learned of statin damage to nerves and muscles and profound behavioral and personality changes, demanding I write a second book, "Statin Drugs Side Effects." Even this broadly encompassing book was insufficient to describe what I have learned more recently of the truly dark side of statins - their ability to alter the very fabric of our makeup. I had long wondered why muscle and nerve damage seemed permanent and even progressive like my own ALS-like condition. Now I have found that the ultimate effect of statins on CoQ10 and dolichols is to damage the DNA of the mitochondrial life - force within our cells - mitochondrial mutation masquerading as premature old age.
