A UK based heart surgeon investigated why people on zero cholesterol diets after he operated came back a few short years later with blocked arteries. He found INFLAMMATION was the culprit, NOT cholesterol. Cut the sugar and highly processed carbs to reduce your inflammation levels.<\/p>\n<p>Statin drugs are a scam!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s some truth from a blog post I saw:<br \/>\n&#8220;Often, the biggest fear associated with saturated fat is&#8230;cholesterol.<br \/>\n&#8220;But, this is only because we have been taught to fear this life-giving substance. Not only is cholesterol NOT the bad guy, it is actually the good guy.<br \/>\n&#8220;If we DO have inflammation from a Western style diet, our cholesterol is likely to rise. Why? It is trying to heal the damage!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So what happens when we take that cholesterol away? We take away the ONLY protection we did have from developing heart disease.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How ironic is that!?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is why it is extremely common that when someone is &#8216;identified&#8217; as high risk, for example, if they have high cholesterol, and they are put on a low-fat, high carb diet combined with cholesterol-lowering medication, the result is often a massive coronary.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Taking the cholesterol away means we can&#8217;t heal the inflammation, the low-fat diet causes more inflammation and more calcification of the arteries&#8230;and, one of the side effects of cholesterol-lowering meds is&#8230;..atherosclerosis! In fact, they increase the risk of atherosclerosis by 3!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is why you can even read on the packet of some of these drugs &#8220;Not approved to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, or strokes.&#8221; What they are proven to do is lower cholesterol&#8230;that&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, instead of preventing heart disease, that little prescription of the diet plus the drugs brings heart disease on&#8230;full force.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been feasting on saturated fat for 14 years, and my cholesterol is currently &#8216;normal.&#8217; As I get older, do I want it to stay that way? Absolutely not. There will be more to heal. I want to see my cholesterol go up with my age. And, every time I get an injury, or a cold, my cholesterol will go up accordingly and then drop back down again. Which is why it is a bit nonsensical for doctors to base their &#8216;treatment&#8217; on one cholesterol test. Our cholesterol can vary day to day, depending on what it needs to heal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just one more reason to bring back the fat!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More people with low cholesterol than high die from hear attacks in their later years.
