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.

Reviews For Statins Toxic Side Effects

What People are saying about Statins Toxic Side Effects: Evidence From 500 Scientific Papers
"Statins Toxic Side Effects is a tour de force.

If you have a loved one in the clutches of a statin-pushing cardiologist, this would be a great book to give-to both your loved one and the cardiologist. Maybe, just maybe it will empower your friend or relative to stop taking these terrible drugs; and maybe, just maybe it will give the cardiologist a twinge of conscience"
- Sally Fallon Morell, Editor of Wise Traditions Journal

“In this book, David Evans presents summaries of 500 scientific papers – yes, 500 – in which the researchers concluded that statins caused or were at least associated with very negative health effects.
These are the studies your doctor probably hasn’t seen and which the statins manufacturers would like to pretend don’t exist.
But they do exist. For your sake, and for the sake of any loved ones who are taking statins, I’d urge you to give these studies a look.
I don’t believe you’ll find them so effectively gathered and summarized anywhere else.”
- Tom Naughton, Health writer, researcher and filmmaker

“David Evans has put together a very important compendium of studies that show, incontrovertibly, that statins not only do not improve health but cause actual harm and should be avoided.
He has gathered a mass of evidence that shows adverse effects on thyroid and liver function, increased risk of cancer, diabetes, depression and neurodegenerative disease, eye damage, impotence in men and birth defects, among many others, a catalogue of adverse effects that every prescribing doctor should be aware of but clearly isn't.
If you take statins, or know someone who does, you need to read this book...and then show it to your doctor and demand that he/she reads it!”
- Simon Best, MA, Editor of Caduceus Journal

"An excellent review of the multitude of disadvantages of statins from clinically observed adverse reactions to the metabolic disruption of many, many important processes.
An eye opener even to someone who has followed the never ending list of statin adverse reactions."
- Mike Cawdery, Retired research vet


"Although already reasonably aware of the risks of harm from statin drugs, this book was still something of a shock in terms of the overwhelming body of evidence that otherwise gets far too little attention given the extremely modest benefits that appear to result for the majority of statin users.

The author has made a huge, even heroic, effort to present results from an enormous body of research. Personally, Chapter 1 was enough to convince me never to touch statins for reduction of CVD risk, and the same is true for everyone else to whom I've shown the book even for a quick read."
