Those who are interested in Kendrick's work may like to listen to his presentation on YouTube - MONICA and the series begining with YouTube - Part 1: Cholesterol (BMA Leeds)

Very enjoyable to those of us who have sussed out that much of what is presented as evidence based medicine is no more than Medical Dogma. If you like Taubes you'll enjoy Kendrick.

We need more proper scientists and fewer people who simply rehash current medical dogmas by manipulating the facts to fit the theory.
