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 relationship between dietary fat intake and breast cancer incidence was examined in 5,485 premenopausal and postmenopausal women, with 10 years of follow-up.

The study found that there is a significantly lower risk of breast cancer in women who have the highest fat intake and the highest saturated fat intake.
