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 examined the association of pancreatic cancer with margarine and butter. The trial contained 99 people with pancreatic cancer and 301 people from the general population who were cancer free.
The study found:
(a) For every 15 grams of margarine on a slice of bread the risk of pancreatic cancer increased 10 fold.
(b) For every 15 grams of butter on a slice of bread there was no increased risk of pancreatic cancer.
The study reveals that a high consumption of margarine is associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer.
The study investigated the relationship of food types with colon and rectum cancer's. A total 62 cases of cancer of the colon and 52 cases of cancer of the rectum were individually matched by age and sex to same number of hospital controls.
The study found:
(a) Cooking with oil (rice bran oil) and confectionery were significantly increased risk factors for cancer of the rectum.
(b) Margarine was a significantly increased risk factor for cancer of the colon.
•1 ½ cups heavy cream (use coconut milk as an alternative);
•Good quality steak seasoning, optional;
•4 fresh thyme sprigs;
•½ cup homemade chicken stock;
•10-12 sun-dried tomatoes, purred in a blender or food processor;
•½ tsp fresh thyme leaves
•Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste;
Preparation:
1.Preheat your oven to 375 F.
2.Season the chicken breasts all over with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Optionally, also season them with a good quality steak seasoning. Look in your local health food store for a brand that is gluten-free and doesn’t contain any vegetable seed oil.
3.Place them in a baking dish, place a sprig of fresh thyme on top of each and place in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, until the juices run clear.
4.Meanwhile, in a large skillet over a medium-low heat, bring the cream or coconut milk and the two remaining thyme sprigs to a light boil.
5.Once boiling, lower heat and let simmer. Allow the cream or coconut milk to reduce by approximately 1/3 of its volume. This should take close to 10 minutes.
6.Remove the cream or coconut milk from the heat and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Do not remove from skillet.
7.Remove the thyme sprigs and return to heat. Add the chicken stock and allow to simmer for another 5 minutes.
8.Add the purred sun-dried tomatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste and the fresh thyme leaves.
