What jurisdiction thinks someone with a PhD and MS is a medical doctor?

What is the rationale for him to be photographed with a stethoscope around his shoulders?

I suspect, to deceive unwary people.

There's more on it on that site (and a lot of other important things as well).

Kevin, what do you make of the McDougall diet? Do we need any dietary fat at all? Are walnuts bad for the heart?

We need some dietary fat, but not much more than you can readily get from whole plant foods. You can go without dietary fat, but walnuts are fine. There is no reason why they shouldn’t be. Fat does not cause CVD.

OK; thank you. Is the leading cause of CVD a low quality plant based diet?

I don’t think plant-based diets are too common. But a higher-quality plant-based diet is certainly better than a lower-quality one.

I highly recommend Malcolm Kendrick's books, and have a look at his website:

https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/author/drmalcolmkendrick/

He is a UK MD who has been persecuted for going against the mainstream pro-statin advice and has successfully fought back. He also has a sense of humour and is easy to read, even when getting technical.
