Cholesterol is not linked to heart disease. Ancel Keys, a researcher, committed scientific fraud by falsely claiming a connection between cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. Despite evidence of this fraud, cardiologists and primary care physicians continue to prescribe statins based on outdated guidelines due to malpractice concerns. In the past, cholesterol levels of 300-350 were considered normal, and people were generally healthier without the focus on cholesterol management. The real cause of cardiovascular disease is damage to the glycocalyx, a crucial but often overlooked organ in the body.

The speaker claims they have elevated cholesterol but do not need a statin because they eat a significant amount of saturated fat from animal meat and avoid seed oils, which raises LDL cholesterol. They believe a classically trained doctor would recommend a statin, but elevated cholesterol does not mean increased cardiovascular disease risk. The speaker claims that eating in this way means they are metabolically healthy, or insulin sensitive. They assert that medical literature shows elevated LDL is not a significant cardiovascular risk factor in healthy individuals with high HDL, low triglycerides, and low fasting insulin. They also claim there is no evidence that statins lower cardiovascular risk in healthy individuals like themselves, but statins will increase the risk of negative side effects.

A cardiologist discusses statins, cholesterol-lowering drugs prescribed to prevent heart attacks. He analyzed data showing that for most Americans taking statins who are not at high risk, the benefit is a 1% chance of preventing a non-fatal heart attack or non-disabling stroke over five years, without prolonging life. This is based on drug industry-sponsored data. Between 20-50% of patients experience quality-of-life-limiting side effects like muscle pain, fatigue, brain fog, erectile dysfunction, joint pain, and stomach issues. Some patients diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's have seen memory return after stopping statins. The speaker advises patients to discuss this information with their doctors and suggests the website theNNT.com for more information on drug benefits and harms. He also mentions his book, "A Statin-Free Life," for further details.

Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death globally. The belief that saturated fat causes heart disease has been challenged, with studies showing no significant impact on heart health. Lowering cholesterol levels and prescribing cholesterol-lowering medications have not proven effective in reducing heart disease risk. These medications can have serious side effects, including memory loss, muscle wasting, and even breast cancer. Revelation 18:23 warns against being deceived by pharmaceuticals, emphasizing the importance of understanding the potential risks associated with cholesterol-lowering drugs.

Millions of healthy Americans are taking statins due to corrupt cholesterol guidelines. In 2001, the National Cholesterol Education Program lowered the threshold for high cholesterol, and again in 2004, qualifying millions more for statins. Eight of nine panel members writing the 2004 guidelines had financial ties to statin manufacturers. In 2013, the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology updated guidelines, removing the LDL threshold and qualifying over 70% of healthy Americans for statins. Many panel members had financial ties to statin manufacturers; Jennifer Robinson received over $3 million from statin companies after the 2013 guidelines. Studies used to make recommendations were designed and funded by statin companies and are not publicly available. Statins have side effects like liver dysfunction, renal failure, and dementia. Dr. Jon Abramson suggested focusing on diet, exercise, and avoiding smoking instead of converting millions into statin customers.

Cholesterol has nothing to do with heart disease, zero. Ansel Keyes was a researcher who committed scientific fraud, lying on the papers that determined them, saying cholesterol is highly implicated in cardiovascular disease. They know he lied; we’ve proven there was fraud. But yet all the cardiologists and all the PCPs, because the standard of care guideline is still if the cholesterol is this number “two zero one,” you better prescribe a statin, and if you don't, we will not defend you in the court of law if you get sued. That’s why they all do it, because of their malpractice. I’ve had physicians tell me this. They’re like, of course we know they’re bullshit. When my grandmother was alive, the normal cholesterol at my age was 350. So everybody used to walk around with three hundred three hundred fifty and it was very normal and they were all skinny and nobody worked out. Nobody was fat in 1950, 60, 70, they were thin. Three twenty, three fifty, that was normal. In the labs, two physicians, that’s normal. Nobody was treated. Three fifty is not high. I’m sorry they have not educated you on what really is causing it. What’s causing cardiovascular disease is damage to what’s called the glycocalyx. The glycocalyx is probably the largest organ in your body and none of you have even heard of it.

An integrative doctor with 15 years of experience argues that cholesterol is not the villain and that money heavily influences the medical system. In the 1970s, doctors weren’t aggressively screening for cholesterol because it wasn’t seen as a villain; cholesterol is something the body makes and it is necessary for many bodily functions. By 1984, the government launched the National Cholesterol Education Program, a move the doctor says was largely funded by pharmaceutical companies that were introducing their first statin medications. The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology also contributed to these guidelines, and the doctor claims both organizations were heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies. Based on this, the doctor suggests that if you’ve been told to take a statin or have been shamed for having high cholesterol, you should revisit the issue because cholesterol is not the villain; our bodies produce it and we need it for everything in the body.

Your doctor says your cholesterol is too high. "What was considered acceptable cholesterol in 1960 was 300, then two forty, then 200." Every time they lower that number, another fifty million Americans need drugs. "Pfizer made a $125,000,000,000 selling Lipitor, the best selling drug in human history." For every one thousand healthy people who take statins, they prevent exactly one heart attack. The other nine hundred and ninety nine just get side effects. "Up to twenty nine percent of them develop muscle soreness so severe they can't exercise, which actually prevents heart disease." "Nine percent of them develop diabetes, which actually causes heart disease." "Eight out of nine members had financial ties to statin manufacturers. The chairman was paid by five different pharmaceutical companies." "Your brain is 25% cholesterol. Every single hormone in your body needs it." "Those with higher cholesterol lived longer, not shorter." The guidelines are written by Big Pharma's payroll. "Forty million Americans are on statins right now."

If cholesterol was the problem, then heart disease would've went way down, but it hasn't. In fact, heart disease is the number one killer in America. Yet, there's millions and millions of people on statin drugs, which is a cholesterol lowering medication. It directly inflames the liver and creates a cholesterol deficiency. This ultimately leads to brain conditions like Alzheimer's. If you check the stats, it peaked in the nineteen nineties.

Cardiologist: How To Reduce Cholesterol, Inflammation & Prevent Heart Disease | Dr. Aseem Malhotra

Guests: Aseem Malhotra

reSee.it Podcast Summary

Dr. Aseem Malhotra discusses the flawed cholesterol hypothesis, stating that lowering LDL cholesterol does not correlate with reduced heart attacks or strokes. He emphasizes that the focus on cholesterol has led to harmful dietary practices, such as the demonization of saturated fats, which has increased the consumption of ultra-processed foods linked to chronic diseases. Malhotra argues that heart disease is primarily driven by lifestyle factors, including diet, exercise, and stress, rather than cholesterol levels alone. He highlights the minimal benefits of statins, noting that they primarily work through anti-inflammatory effects rather than cholesterol reduction. He advocates for a Mediterranean diet rich in whole foods and emphasizes the importance of addressing psychosocial stress as a significant risk factor for heart disease. Malhotra also critiques the pharmaceutical industry's influence on medical guidelines and the over-medication of patients, suggesting that lifestyle changes should be prioritized over drugs. He calls for a shift in focus towards reducing ultra-processed food consumption and improving community relationships to enhance overall health. Malhotra's upcoming documentary, "First Do No Pharm," aims to explore the consequences of an over-medicated society and promote lifestyle interventions for better health outcomes.

The CEO of Kellogg's suggested Americans eat cereal for dinner to save money, drawing parallels to Marie Antoinette's infamous quote. This reflects a broader issue of poor nutrition amidst an obesity epidemic, where cheap, ultra-processed foods dominate diets. Nutrition experts are divided on the causes of obesity, often influenced by financial or ideological conflicts. Shawn Baker advocates for a carnivore diet, emphasizing its benefits for those with chronic health issues, while acknowledging that not everyone needs to adopt it permanently. He highlights the prevalence of diabetes and autoimmune conditions in the U.S., suggesting that many could benefit from a meat-centric diet. Baker critiques the food industry for designing addictive ultra-processed foods, comparing it to the tactics of tobacco companies. He argues that while high LDL cholesterol is often vilified, it may not correlate with heart disease in healthy individuals. Studies indicate that the relationship between cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health is more nuanced than previously thought. Baker also discusses the importance of avoiding ultra-processed foods and maintaining a healthy weight for overall health. He expresses skepticism about the long-term risks of the carnivore diet, emphasizing the need for more research. Baker believes that the focus should be on reducing ultra-processed food consumption rather than demonizing meat. He advocates for grassroots movements to promote healthier eating habits and challenges the notion that meat is harmful. Baker's company, Rivero, aims to empower individuals to take control of their health through dietary changes, moving away from a reactionary healthcare model. He concludes that collaboration and personal responsibility are essential for achieving health and wellness.
