About

CHOLESTEROL, THE GREAT BLUFF convincingly argues that the link between cholesterol and heart disease is tenuous – and that its persistence results from a mix of bad science, entrenched interests, and pharmaceutical profits. As the film makes clear, researchers who made any serious attempt to study other hypotheses found themselves threatened, their research funding cut and their careers derailed.

"For American audiences the ideas that Georget presents, which run counter to medical orthodoxy, will be provocative, but her experts-who include doctors and researchers as well as journalists and academics-deserve a hearing."
