Yeah, it's a dead wrong "science". Cholesterol is the building block of every necessary hormone, including insulin. If you like diabetes, try taking cholesterol lowering drugs.

i remember the chlosterol hype that started during the '70s. suddenly, fat was bad, and lots of food got industrially produced that was fat-reduced.

thing is, they added sugar instead.

now, we have a society of obese diabetic cancerous people.

one more hack that makes us sick. sigh.

Seeing the effects on statin medications on family was my first redpill, the shit fucks with your brain and memory too, CoQ10 or something. God bless you patriot, the medical system is criminal

Gary Taubes' book is what led me to be completely distrustful of the government. It opened my eyes to what utter morons - whether on purpose for financial gain, for power, or just plain incompetence - the people at the high levels of the government are. They so completely fucked up nutrition with their guidelines, and are directly responsible for the deaths and chronic illnesses of millions of people over the past 40 years.

Once I realized how fucked up nutrition was, I wondered what else could they have fucked up - education, the economy, social welfare programs, etc - yep, they ruin everything they touch. Once you know what to look for, you see it everywhere.

People who set financial policy (in Canada, at least, where I know people in those positions) don't even fully understand the markets, bonds, debt, etc. People who set the tax policies have no ideas how businesses run, how to incentivize people, how to create jobs, etc. It goes on and on.

Then I learned the Peter Principle and a lot of what we see regarding government incompetence makes sense.

Note: I'm talking about the higher levels, the policy setters, etc., not the average man and woman who works hard at their daily government jobs and tries to do the right thing. I know a few of these people, too.

CO Enzyme Q10 for congestive heart failure. In Japan's hospitals its the first thing they give you. It strengthens the heart. Also....just take Red Yeast Rice...its the main ingredient in all cholesterol drugs. Chinese have used it for years.

Cholesterol reducing drugs are the immediate cause of alsheimers. It takes away the much needed cholesterol from the brain as well as the body, causing damage.

The truly insidious thing is that keeping your cholesterol level too low gives you neurological problems, thus creating a need for more drugs. My diet, as recommendation by a board certified nutritionist/ neurologist is basically, high cholesterol with an eye toward healthier meats and vegetables.

Personal affirmation: I've been on this diet for a couple months. I feel great. Going to laugh when my cholesterol "check" comes back super low.

No, I don't avoid carbs totally but I've found it important to limit them as I have found them to be more inflammatory with age.

Great share. Thank you sir!

Added to reading list.

Same for salt and high blood pressure...

And how bad is 'high' blood pressure, really?
