HEALTHY DIETS AND SCIENCE: Vegetarians are nearly twice as likely to diet frequently as nonvegetarians, four times as likely to engage in intentional vomiting and eight times as likely to use laxatives for weight control

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.
