Robert J. DuBroff is an American cardiologist who works in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He has challenged the lipid hypothesis and has disputed the efficiency of statin therapy.[1][2][3] Dubroff also disputes the current saturated fat guidelines.
DuBroff obtained his medical degree from the Pritzker School of Medicine.[4] He taught at the University of New Mexico.[1][5] He has argued that evidence supporting statins has not been validated.[2] In 2016, he co-authored a review paper with Aseem Malhotra which cast doubt on the efficacy of cholesterol-lowering therapies on cardiovascular events. The review was criticized for making a "flawed analysis of published data".[3]
DuBroff has stated that cholesterol is only a partial picture of heart disease and other factors may be responsible such as inflammation and insulin resistance.[2]
