Dr. Malcolm Kendrick is a General Practitioner in Medicine from Scotland, and focuses the bulk of his research and writing on cholesterol, atherosclerosis, stress, and the myths around them.

He is an outspoken critic of the cholesterol focus of heart disease, overprescription of medications, and the dirty plays of statistics that some doctors use to increase their gains at the expense of their patients and general population.

He is the author of three books, The Clot Thickens, Doctoring Data, and The Cholesterol Con, and runs the website drmalcolmkendrick.org
