The truth about cholesterol and statins.
"The longest lived people have higher cholesterol. And yet, we live in a world that hates cholesterol."
"The moment cholesterol goes up, we put them on a cholesterol-lowering medication."
"It's a really, really good way to sell a lot of drugs."
Well this is refreshing! Just the tip of the iceberg on the fraud and corruption to do with this topic, but still very refreshing to see.

Universally demonizing saturated fat (which vilifies otherwise healthful foods that contain it like red meat, olive oil, full-fat dairy, even dark chocolate) has been a major public health misstep. I see a rigorous, evidence-based reassessment as a win.
@MidwesternDoc One of the most striking stories comes from NASA flight surgeon Dr. Duane Graveline.
He took Lipitor—and soon after developed global amnesia.
He lost years of memory! How terrifying is that?

Paper: "higher dietary creatine intake may reduce cancer risk"
Where do you get creatine? Best sources are: Beef, pork, fish.

The government HAS NO CAPS ON CHOLESTEROL..for ten years now.
So why didn’t they tell you? 🤔
The U.S. government quietly dropped its cholesterol cap in 2015 (the American Heart Association did the same in 2013), yet most people still think dietary cholesterol is something to fear.
Why? Maybe because our government is too afraid to publicly correct its mistake.
There was no information campaign, no big announcement—mostly just silence.
Here’s the truth: cholesterol isn’t the enemy.
The government even funded many large-scale, randomized clinical trials to test the link between #cholesterol and heart disease.
What did they find? 👇
No proof that eating meat, butter, and cheese leads to heart disease.
Some studies even showed the opposite: the more people lowered their cholesterol, the more likely they were to die from heart disease.
So what happened to those studies?
Buried. Suppressed. Ignored.
One sat in the basement of the NIH for years, never published. Another delayed publication for 16 years.
And while the government dropped its cholesterol caps, it still says that healthy diets are "lower in cholesterol"
It's time to ask: why are we still being misled?
