The raison d'etre of this website is to provide you with hard scientific information which may help you make informed decisions in your quest for health (so far I have blogged concise summaries of over 1,500 scientific studies and have had three books published).

My research is mainly focused on the effects of cholesterol, saturated fat and statin drugs on health. If you know anyone who is worried about their cholesterol levels and heart disease, or has been told to take statin drugs you could send them a link to this website, and to my statin or cholesterol or heart disease books.

The study findings showed a significant relationship in mood disorders and personality or neurotic disorders and low cholesterol levels.

The author concludes: "These results support the previous claim that lower cholesterol level is associated with an increased risk of suicidal behavior".
