Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won't Prevent
Heart Disease and the Secret That Will
You have been completely misled, misinformed, and in some cases, intentionally lied to about cholesterol. An unfortunate mishmash of scientifically questionable studies, corporate greed, and deceptive marketing has conspired to create one of the most damaging misconceptions in medical history: that cholesterol causes heart disease.
The real tragedy is that by focusing on cholesterol,
the true causes of heart disease are altogether ignored!
In The Great Cholesterol Myth, acclaimed authors and nationally renowned doctors Jonny Bowden and Stephen Sinatra reveal why:
- Cholesterol plays a minor role in heart disease
- Cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart attacks
- Half the people with heart disease have normal cholesterol
- Half the people with elevated cholesterol have healthy hearts
- Lowering cholesterol has extremely limited benefits
- And more
It is NOT a coincidence the obesity and diabetes epidemics spiraled out of control during the same time low-fat, high-carb diets were being hailed as the healthy alternative to those containing more cholesterol and protein.
Cholesterol Is Harmless
The Great Cholesterol Myth exposes Big Pharma for deliberately misleading people about the dangers of high cholesterol levels to scare them into taking statin drugs.
In fact, when the National Cholesterol Education Program lowered the "optimal" cholesterol levels in 2004, eight out of nine people on the panel had financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.
And here's the shocker: Cholesterol is actually good for you!
Cholesterol promotes healthy brain and digestive function and is essential in helping the body produce hormones and vitamin D.
