About this listen
This is a 150-year detective story with a cast of unrecognized heroes who may, finally, become known for their work on the true causes of heart disease. Exploring the truth about cholesterol—the apparently tried, and convicted, cause of millions of deaths from heart disease—with billions spent each year on lowering cholesterol with diet and drugs.
Is it possible that our villain was simply left holding the gun whilst the true culprits ran and hid? Have they escaped our clutches?
Dr. Kendrick also introduces us to a range of other lesser known characters in this tale of selective reporting, data manipulation, and intrigue. The true story of heart disease is out there, and the evidence has been brought together here—a scientific mystery for our time that is ready to unfold.

Captivating!

Within its pages, you'll discover a wealth of practical information and profound wisdom. From strategies for maintaining a healthy heart to tips for longevity, this audiobook covers it all with meticulous detail and clarity.
One of the standout features of 'The Clot Thickens' is the exceptional narration. The reader's performance not only does justice to the depth of the content but also brings out the intelligence and humour of the author in a delightful manner. Their skilful delivery elevates the listening experience, making it both informative and engaging.
I eagerly anticipate more enlightening works of this caliber in the future.

Excellent listen, well written and narrated
So glad this is out on audiobook, as a dyslexic I struggled with the text version. Some really interesting points well made and backed up and what influences/causes heart problems/ attacks.

A master class in accessible science
Brilliantly and clearly written even when delving into some tricky technical points.
The argument Kendrick provides seems water tight, especially when contrasted with the pretty unsatisfactory diet/heart hypothesis.

It is an eye-opener with straightforward advice.
An excellent narration of a book on an important subject. Ultimately there are some simple and free things you can do to reduce your risk of death! It is no surprise that some large companies are only interested in their bottom line. It's the same pattern as with Ultra Processes Food.

3,500,000,000,000,000 LDL’s needed to form a 3mm plaque
An excellent introduction to heart disease and an eye opener to what could have happened as opposed to what most of the medical profession would have you believe has happened.

A must-read!
Dr Malcolm Kendricks gives a very compelling case for an alternative hypothesis for heart disease. And completely demolishes the cholesterol hypothesis. Anyone even remotely interested in health should read this book. Heck, even those not interested at all should read it. Everyone should.
