The Truth About What Really Causes Heart Disease and How to Avoid It:
by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick
The Great Cholesterol Con sticks its hand in the air and yells 'The Cholesterol Hypothesis is not wearing any clothes.' Then runs like mad, whilst the great and the good, the powerful, the pharmaceutical companies the opinion leaders in cardiology give chase. For they all have much to lose.
Dr Kendrick takes the reader through the history of the cholesterol hypothesis, or diet-heart hypothesis and explains how it came to be. He then takes it apart piece by piece, showing that cholesterol and/or saturated fat does not (indeed cannot) raise cholesterol levels, and that raised cholesterol levels cannot, and do not, cause heart disease.................................

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,276,002I totally agree and have lectured on this so many times. High cholesterol DOES NOT cause heart disease. The cholesterol deposits due to inflammation of the arterial wall. This is because cholesterol is a healing agent.
Here are a couple of other facts that the drug companies do not tell you:
-Statin drugs increase your risk of heart failure. This is because they reduce CoQ10 levels, which is required to help cells function properly trough ATP formation. Lowered ATP levels lead to the condition rhabdomyolosis, which is degeneration of muscle tissue. Guess what? The heart is a muscle as well, and deteriorates due to low ATP levels just like skeletal muscle.
- Over 50% of people suffeing heart attacks have normal to low cholesterol levels.
-Severely low cholesterol levels greatly increase one's risk of heart attack, stroke, and dementia.

This is a reply to # 1,276,693Hveragerthi,
thank you for your contribution.
My own Mother suffered a myocardial infarction 4 years ago and where I wrote to her mainstream cardiologist concerning complementing her then "treatment" by adding such nutrients as fish oils, magnesium and CoQ10 at the appropriate therapeutic dosages; he wrote back to me asking what I meant by CoQ10!!
A predictable & ignorant response perhaps but she came out of his care on my advice and stopped taking the 80mg per day statins she was prescribed.
She is now leading a normal life at the age of 86: BP normal, whereas very high previously and with far more energy.
The mind boggles.

This is a reply to # 1,276,002I have Heart Failure, Persistent Atrial Fibrillation , Chronically High Blood Pressure, Insulin Resistance, Pre-Diabetes, High Cholesterol and High Triglycerides. That said, I went on a frequent eating, small meal, low calorie, low carb diet in order to give myself a better chance at survival. I could not tolerate Statins, so I took nothing for my High Cholesterol and my High Triglycerides.
I've been on the diet since December 2004. Since then, my health has dramatically improved. My blood pressure is at very healthy levels, at around 118/72, ALL the time. I've lost 50 pounds. I feel much better, all the time. One surprise was that my Cholesterol and Triglycerides are at very healthy levels. I did not diet in order to lower my Cholesterol and Triglycerides and I did not take any medicine or supplements in order to lower my Cholesterol and Triglycerides. It just happened.
That tells me that a healthy diet will not only greatly improve one's health but will also lower Cholesterol and Triglycerides, which proves to me that High Cholesterol and High Triglyceride levels are unhealthy and a result of unhealthy diets.- Re: The Great Cholesterol Con. b3nault

This is a reply to # 1,287,786I had a total cholesterol of 85 and I felt like complete death, no energy, horrible skin and erratic demeanor. This was all from diet and no drugs.
I now got my cholesterol up to 195, whilst keeping my HDL in the 70s and I feel like a new man. I always thought cholesterol was evil, but it seems to me that it's a god send.
