Pharmaceutical companies continue to push cholesterol lowering drugs. And doctors, who are brain washed, continue to prescribe them with a vengeance. This, despite the fact, the evidence has never supported their use and continues to show how detrimental to ones health they are. The following is taken from Wise Traditions, 2007; 8(3).

According to NewsMax Health Alerts, the five foods proven to fight cardiovascular disease are:
The above foods although nutritious, are going to do very little in the way of warding off heart disease. There are other foods wich are literally poisons that need to be avoided if one is trying to eat heart healthy. Conversely, there are also foods and nutrients which you need to add to your diet that are much more heart healthy than the above list. Despite what you have learned, high cholesterol is not your enemy. Our enemy in this battle against heart disease is vegetable oils. That’s right, the very same oils that are promoted as heart healthy. Studies using rabbits in the early 1900’s are often touted as proof positive that a diet high in cholesterol, which raise cholesterol, promote heart disease. If you look up these studies you’ll find that the researchers used corn oil or partially hydrogenated oil. One study used corn oil with the same amount of cholesterol people normally consume. The rabbits in this study like all the others developed rampant atherosclerosis. As we’ve known for decades through past, as well as recent studies, vegetable oils and hydrogenated oils facilitate atherosclerosis without adding cholesterol. Only God knows how many people have died or suffered as a result of the mass marketing of vegetable oils as heart healthy over the last 7 decades. |

Today in the United States one person will die from CVD every 36 seconds. This year in the U.S. approximately 1.2 million people will have a heart attack and just short of half will die. Approximately 79,400,000 people or 26.5% of The U.S. has cardiovascular disease. In 2004 CVD was the underlying cause of death in 36.3% of “total mortality” in the U.S. Since 1953 cholesterol has been touted by so-called experts as the cause of heart disease in the U.S., otherwise known as the Lipid Hypothesis But, reality tells us different. Did you know… …cholesterol is a substance vital to the health of all cells in your body? …your body produces 3 – 4 times more cholesterol than you eat? …when you decrease your consumption the body increases it’s production and visa-versa? …despite the same amounts of cholesterol flowing through them, veins never become sclerotic? …arteries that pass through the bony channels of the skull and the few branches that pass through heart muscle never become sclerotic? …studies of the hearts of people who have died from heart attacks showed approximately 1/5th of the victims had no evidence of coronary atherosclerosis? …oxidized cholesterol is what accumulates in vessels not normal cholesterol? …3/4’s of the lipids found in plaque is polyunsaturated? …in Japan more people die of cerebral hemorrhage than in most other countries, and is greatest in those with the lowest cholesterol levels. …there is no correlation between saturated fat consumption and cardiovascular disease? In fact, many societies have decreased their animal fat consumption with a corresponding increase in cardiovascular disease. …there are countless scientific and observable contradictions to the Lipid Hypothesis? Only one scientific contradiction is needed to disprove a hypothesis. Do your homework and judge for yourself. The Lipid Hypothesis is the biggest health scam in history.

A sad fact in the food industry is how companies are getting away with using complicated terms and numbers on labels. These companies are basically confusing or misleading the public by highlighting words like, “low fat!” or “less sugar!” when the truth of the matter is these food products are still hiding dirty little secrets. Besides cutting out sugary sweets, sodas and fast food, we must go a step further in our quest for a healthy body and start learning how to read labels. Nearly two-thirds of adult Americans are overweight, meaning we’re choosing to eat unhealthy meals, or are being fooled by what is being called “healthy” food. Check out Men’s Heath Nutrition Label Decoder. It’s an interactive tool to help you learn how to read a label and how to differ between insoluble and soluble fibers, fructose, glucose and lactose sugars, and why not all fats are bad for you. |

The lipid hypothesis states there is a direct link between the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol in the diet and the incidence of heart disease. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Before the mid 1920’s cardiovascular disease was literally unheard of and eggs, butter and lard were conumed in abundance. In 1900 when heart attacks were nonexhistent, egg consumption was three times what it was in the mid 1950’s when cardiovascular disease was already the nations #1 killer. Scientific data just doesn’t support the supposed benefits of reducing saturated fat and choesterol. 20 studies have shown that people who have had heart attacks haven’t eaten any more saturated fat than other people, and the degree of atherosclerosis at autopsy is unrelated to diet. On the contrary, satrated fats have been nourishing societies for millenia. Below is a list of guidlines we can and should follow to be healthier and reduce our risk of the nations number one killer:
