This could rock the stock market when thousands of people take themselves off statins; and how many doctor's offices are being inundated with calls today!

I think the book is called The Great Cholesterol Con by Anthony Colpo.
Here is the summary line
(p254): "There is every reason in the world to encourage people to exercise frequently, stop smoking, eat minimally processed foods, and find ways to get a handle on the stresses of modern life. The evidence for low-fat diets, on the other hand, is based on a mixture of erroneous assumptions, half-truths and downright lies."
Seems a bit controversial.
