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 Despite evidence of this fraud, cardiologists and primary care physicians continue to prescribe statins based on outdated guidelines due to malpractice concerns.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.

"Fat, saturated fat and cholesterol are all very healthy things." "Your brain is 25% made of cholesterol." "So imagine blocking cholesterol production in your brain." "What do you think that's going to do, gentlemen?" "Ansel Keys himself started by saying if you eat cholesterol, your cholesterol level will go up." "He did experiments on humans and fed them 10 eggs a day or something." "And what he found is it had absolutely no impact on their blood cholesterol level." "None." "For every one millimole fall in your cholesterol level, the rate of heart disease death went up twenty percent." "Cholesterol is a molecule." "It's found in human beings, so it's hugely important substance in our bodies."

The speaker claims that the long-held belief that fat and red meat cause heart disease originated from a flawed study in the 1950s. According to the speaker, Ansel Keyes' seven-country study, which linked saturated fat intake to heart disease, shaped nutritional policy for decades. However, Keyes allegedly cherry-picked countries for his study, omitting those like France with high saturated fat intake but no increased heart disease risk. The speaker asserts that Keyes also ignored other key health factors like sugar intake, sedentary lifestyles, and smoking, which allowed him to blame fat and red meat. The speaker states that despite cutting out eggs, red meat, and butter, heart disease rates have continued to rise. The speaker suggests addressing unstable blood sugar, high processed food intake, and metabolic dysfunction instead, and questioning the current narrative.

Americans primarily consumed animal fats 120-130 years ago with low rates of heart disease. In 1950, Ancel Keys' 7 countries study and Eisenhower's heart attack shifted focus to saturated fats being bad and polyunsaturated fats being good. The American Heart Association received a large donation from Procter and Gamble, who made Crisco, leading to promotion of polyunsaturated fats. Ads in the 1960s pushed for polyunsaturated oils like Mazola corn oil.

For years, they've blamed fat and red meat for heart disease, but that all started with one flawed study. Back in the nineteen fifties, a researcher by the name of Hansel Keyes launched the seven country study. His data showed a link between saturated fat intake and heart disease, and that shaped nutritional policy for years to come. Ansel Keyes cherry picked the countries he included in his study, leaving out countries like France who have a high intake of saturated fat but had no increased risk of heart disease. Even worse, he left out other key health factors, things like sugar intake, a sedentary lifestyle, and even smoking. All of these have huge effects on overall heart health. And by ignoring these, he was able to point the finger at fat and red meat as the overall villain.

In the early 1900s, Americans primarily consumed animal fats, and cardiovascular disease rates were significantly lower than today. This historical data challenges the claim that animal fats cause cardiovascular disease. The shift occurred around 1950 with Ansel Keyes' seven countries study and President Eisenhower's heart attack. The American Heart Association received a substantial donation from Procter and Gamble, the makers of Crisco. Subsequently, the AHA began promoting polyunsaturated fats as beneficial and saturated fats as harmful. Advertisements in the 1960s encouraged families to increase their consumption of polyunsaturated fats, such as Mazola corn oil.

"Cholesterol has nothing to do with heart disease. Zero." "Here's the thing. Ansel Keyes was a researcher. He committed scientific fraud." "He lied on the papers that determined them saying, oh, look, cholesterol is highly implicated in cardiovascular disease." "Turns out he lied. They'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." "My grandmother was alive, the normal cholesterol at my age was 350." "So everybody used to walk around with 300, 350, and it was very normal." "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."

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.

The speaker concludes that the real enemies are unstable blood sugar, processed foods, and metabolic dysfunction, and it's time to question the narrative and focus on true health.

The most dangerous idea in history is the claim that cholesterol causes heart attacks, which is false and unproven. Cholesterol is essential to animal life and present in every cell membrane; without enough cholesterol, cells die. Humans have historically consumed animal fats, but were told to stop, assuming experts knew best, which was a mistake.

Now is the time to question the narrative and get back to what truly makes us healthy.

There is no high-level evidence showing even a correlation between cholesterol and heart disease. The Journal of American Medical Association published a report in 2015 detailing internal documentation from the Sugar Research Foundation. This documentation showed evidence suggesting sugar caused heart disease, and detailed how they paid off three Harvard professors to falsify data and publish fraudulent studies. These studies were designed to make it appear as if cholesterol was correlated with heart disease and exonerate sugar. One of these professors, Professor Mark, became head of the USDA and helped author the 1977 USDA dietary recommendations to significantly reduce saturated fats and cholesterol because it caused heart disease.

In the 1970s, it was learned that dietary fat raised LDL, which predicted heart disease. While both are true to an extent, only small dense LDL predicts heart disease. Dietary fat raises large buoyant LDL, while carbohydrates, especially sugar, raise small dense LDL. Therefore, high LDL levels don't automatically necessitate statins. If LDL is high, the cause should be investigated, but statins aren't always the answer. It is claimed that four out of five people on statins are prescribed them unnecessarily.

Speaker 0: The most dangerous idea in human history is this idea that cholesterol causes heart attacks. It was not true. It was never true. It was never proven. Yet, it was accepted as fact. It's ridiculous when you think about it because cholesterol is something nature puts in every single one of our cells. It is essential to life, to animal life. All animals, not just humans, every form of animal must have cholesterol in our cell membrane. And if the cell doesn't have enough, it die. Speaker 1: Humans have survived an awful long time eating animal fats. So all of a sudden, the powers that be tell us they're literally off the table, and we followed suit thinking that these people know what they're talking about, and we were really off base.

The government actually did randomized controlled clinical trials on tens of thousands of people testing to see if saturated fat and cholesterol caused heart disease. They did this in mental hospitals where they totally controlled what people ate, with half given 'meat, butter, cheese, regular high saturated fat and cholesterol diet,' and half given 'soy filled cheese and margarine instead of butter and soy filled meat.' And in those randomized, those rigorous experiments on tens of thousands of people, they could not show that the people eating the meat and the butter and cheese died at higher rates from heart disease. In the Minnesota Coronary Survey on 9,000 men and women over four and a half years, 'the more the men lowered their cholesterol, the more likely they were to die of a heart attack.'

The speaker claims the American Heart Association fabricated evidence to support the idea that cholesterol causes heart attacks, and that some scientists agree there is no evidence. They assert that when people cut out vegetable oils and eat healthier, their cholesterol may increase, leading doctors to recommend statins, which the speaker calls dangerous. The speaker advises listeners to become more knowledgeable than their doctors, who they believe are miseducated. They mention having a chapter in their book, "Dark Calories," about this topic.

A flawed study from the 1950s, the "seven country study" by Hansel Keyes, is the origin of blaming fat and red meat for heart disease. Keyes' data showed a link between saturated fat and heart disease, which shaped nutritional policy for decades. However, Keyes cherry-picked countries for his study, omitting countries like France with high saturated fat intake and no increased heart disease risk. Keyes also left out key health factors like sugar intake, sedentary lifestyle, and smoking, which have huge effects on heart health. By ignoring these, he blamed fat and red meat as the villain. Despite cutting out eggs, red meat, and butter for decades, heart disease rates continue to skyrocket. The real enemies are unstable blood sugar, high intake of processed foods, and overall metabolic dysfunction. It's time to question the narrative and focus on what truly makes us healthy.

A 02/2001 meta-analysis in the American Journal of Hypertension, covering 6,250 subjects, found no evidence that salt restriction lowers the risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks, or stroke. Prior to this, a study in the Journal of American Medical Association concluded that lower salt intake increases the risk of premature death from heart complications. These journals are respected and government-funded, yet their findings on salt restriction are reportedly ignored due to entrenched groupthink. In 02/2006, the Journal of American Medicine published an analysis of 78,000,000 Americans over fourteen years, reporting that higher sodium intake was correlated with a lower risk of dying from heart disease.

Before 1950, heart disease was rare and obesity affected less than 10% of Americans. Procter and Gamble had a waste product, cottonseed oil, which they hydrogenated and named Crisco. They then gave the American Heart Association $1,700,000. Subsequently, butter became the enemy, and seed oils were considered heart healthy. Hospitals replaced butter with margarine, and home cooks swapped lard for vegetable oil. Within a generation, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease rates increased dramatically.

The speaker claims the American Heart Association fabricated evidence that cholesterol causes heart attacks, and that this evidence is nonsensical. They assert that when people cut out vegetable oils and eat healthier, their cholesterol may rise, leading doctors to recommend statins, which the speaker calls dangerous. The speaker advises listeners to become more knowledgeable than their doctors, who they believe are miseducated. They mention a chapter in their book, "Dark Calories," that covers this topic.

Speaker 0 argues that the American Heart Association used money to spend decades fabricating a huge pile of evidence to support the idea that cholesterol causes heart attacks, and that this pile of evidence is nonsense. He notes that some very smart scientists who have sifted through it have come to the same conclusion, that there is nothing here and no evidence. He adds that when you cut out vegetable oils and eat healthier foods, very likely your total cholesterol levels will go up, and your doctor will tell you to stop following this diet that’s improving your health and transforming your life. He warns it may scare you into taking a statin drug, which he calls one of the most dangerous drugs out there. He mentions that there is a whole chapter in Dark Calories about this so you can fortify your knowledge, and that you have to know more than your doctor because doctors are miseducated.

These claims describe government randomized controlled trials on tens of thousands to test whether saturated fat and cholesterol cause heart disease. In mental hospitals they controlled diets, with one group on meat, butter, and cheese, and the other on soy-filled cheese and margarine instead of butter and soy-filled meat. In these randomized, rigorous experiments they could not show that the people eating the meat and the butter and cheese died at higher rates from heart disease. In the Minnesota Coronary Survey on 9,000 people over four and a half years, they found the lower the cholesterol, the more likely they were to die of a heart attack. What happened to all those experiments? They were not published for sixteen years. Other experiments I found sat in NIH basement, never published. Ignored, not included, just ignored or suppressed. The American Heart Association is ignoring those clinical trials, protecting their past statements.

A lifelong rancher believed fat caused heart disease, but research revealed this was a lie. In 1911, there were no recorded heart disease cases in America. Procter and Gamble transformed cottonseed oil into Crisco, after which heart disease rates increased. In 1955, Eisenhower's heart attack caused panic. Ansel Keyes proposed the heart health hypothesis, studying seven countries and finding a correlation between saturated fat intake and heart disease. The American Heart Association endorsed it, and in 1961, dietary guidelines were released. Later, the full data from 22 countries showed zero correlation between saturated fat and heart disease.
