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.

Recipe of the day

Green Chicken

Ingredients:
boneless skinless chicken breast
Omaha Steaks Boneless Chicken Breasts
Food Mall: Chicken Breast
olive oil
salt-free herbal seasoning blend
pinch of sea salt

Instructions:
Heat the broiler, line a baking sheet with foil, and position a rack over the pan.

Remove the tenders from the breasts and thinly slice them. Slice breasts into 2-3 slices.

Put some olive oil in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and enough dried herbs to make a thick paste. Drag the breast slices and tenders through the herb paste and coat both sides.

Place the chicken on the rack and broil for 8 minutes on one side until it cooks through and the side facing up gets a crust. Remove from oven, let cool, slice, and store.
