For the last 40 years the dietary instructions from governments and other authoritative bodies have told us that saturated fat is bad because it leads to clogged arteries, heart attacks and strokes.
Our body must have saturated fats in order to function optimally.
There is no connection between the intake of saturated fat and heart disease or stroke. But there is a connection between the currently recommended high carbohydrate diet and heart disease and between low levels of serum cholesterol and stroke.
Cholesterol levels do not statistically correlate to heart disease and those with low levels have a higher risk of death from all causes (as well as higher risk of mental problems and several types of cancers) while high levels are linked to longevity.
Statin drugs deplete the body of essential nutrients and have at least 28 distinct modes of toxicity, including myotoxicity and neurotoxicity.
The low fat diet is the worst dietary advice in the last 40 years and, combined with highly toxic drugs, is most likely the main cause of our epidemics of heart disease, diabetes and obesity, just to name a few.
At the end of the day, we are each responsible for our own health and, with the emerging evidence that exonerates cholesterol as a culprit in heart disease, I hope that many of us will research and question the dogma that it is harmful or that lowering it can be beneficial.
