People with high cholesterol levels purportedly don't get Alzheimer's because the brain loves fat. A good cholesterol level is suggested to be 200-250. It's claimed that many people are on cholesterol-lowering medication and fat-free diets, leading to increased carb consumption due to a lack of satiation. The speaker alleges cholesterol levels have been lowered to get more people on medication and that people are eating margarine. Despite these changes, heart disease is purportedly still the number one killer.

"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."

- You do not die of too much cholesterol. You die of not enough. I will say this one more time. You do not die of too much cholesterol. There is no such thing as too much cholesterol. - You die only from not enough because we know only cholesterol builds healthy cells. Every single cell in your system, 87% of the new cell is built from cholesterol. It's completely artificially made up. I have patients that have cholesterol of 600. They're the healthiest people, never been sick. - Statin drugs are dangerous, and please remember your brain is built from cholesterol. Ninety ninety two to 99% of the brain is built from cholesterol. The brain shrinks first. With every statin drug, you start shrinking your brain. And this is what people need to understand. - It's mass murder. It always leads to hardening of the liver. It always cuts off at least twenty years of your lifespan.

Speaker 1 challenges the idea that lowering LDL with statins reduces cardiovascular risk, saying: "The only problem is you're looking at that so myopically... It's not that simple." He asserts, "In fact, there's no correlation between elevated LDL cholesterol on its own as an independent risk factor and cardiovascular disease. None." "Cholesterol does not cause atherosclerotic plaquing or narrowing of the arteries. Damage to the arterial wall does, the inflammatory cascade does." He frames cholesterol as "a construction material"—"the liver makes 85% of the cholesterol in your bloodstream"—used to build cell walls, membranes, hormones, and "to make vitamin d three, cholecalciferol." Pushing LDL low allegedly leads to consequences: "joints start aching" and "memory starts to go," with "Cognitive decline is one of the fastest accelerants of aging." He notes, "not one death claim" on a centenarian lacked elevated LDL at death. "High LDL... is a market for longevity" and "the standard of care was killing people."

Eating a diet high in cholesterol is not linked to heart disease, contrary to common belief. Cholesterol is vital for the body, and the idea of good and bad cholesterol is a myth. Statin drugs lower cholesterol by causing liver inflammation, potentially leading to brain issues. The rise in Alzheimer's disease cases correlates with the increase in statin drug prescriptions. It is crucial to prioritize brain health by avoiding statin drugs.

The speaker states they would never take statin drugs because cholesterol is not the cause of plaque in arteries, claiming cholesterol is our friend. They cite confirmed statin drug side effects including muscle symptoms, abdominal issues, skin rashes, hair loss, decreased platelets, sexual dysfunction, mental and emotional problems like depression and suicidal thoughts, inflammation, cognitive issues, diabetes, and ineffective exercise. The speaker suggests that instead of focusing on lowering cholesterol, the focus should be on preventing plaque by addressing the actual causes: sugar and seed oils. They claim that eliminating these will avoid many health problems. The speaker also mentions natural foods and supplements can help with cardiovascular health and lower cholesterol.

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.

This speaker argues that current medical advice to avoid red meat due to high cholesterol is biochemically ignorant. They claim: “Your body doesn't get high cholesterol from eating cholesterol. It makes 80% of it in the liver driven by circadian biology, mitochondrial efficiency, and metabolic demand.” Cholesterol, they say, is not a toxin but “a quantum molecule that's essential for cellular repair, hormone production, and charge separation in your membranes.” The true culprits behind high cholesterol, according to the speaker, are “mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, blue light toxicity, and chronic inflammation.” When mitochondria fail to produce energy efficiently, the body increases cholesterol as a protective mechanism to stabilize membranes and improve electron flow. They also state that “red meat provides the cofactors needed for proper lipid metabolism carnitine, CoQ10, phospholipids, and even DHA.” The speaker emphasizes that “cholesterol levels rise when the system is energetically stressed, not because you had a steak.” They criticize doctors who view cholesterol as the enemy, asserting that such professionals do not understand human physiology or quantum biology. Throughout, the message centers on the idea that the regulation of cholesterol is tied to energy status and mitochondrial health rather than dietary cholesterol intake, and that adequate intake of certain nutrients found in red meat supports lipid metabolism and cellular energy.

Cholesterol is essential for brain function, liver health, and hormone production. Surprisingly, more people die from heart disease with normal to low cholesterol levels than with high cholesterol. This misconception stems from decades of misinformation and a fear of dietary fat, known as lipophobia. The statin industry profits significantly from this fear, generating over $10 billion last year. Cholesterol is often misinterpreted as the cause of heart disease; however, it actually helps repair damage and reduce inflammation. Therefore, it’s important to embrace dietary fats, including saturated fats and egg yolks, and to reconsider the reliance on statins prescribed by doctors.

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.

The speaker argues that “Bad cholesterol” is a misnomer and claims it is “the biggest fraud.” They state they have spent countless hours researching cholesterol and that “None of it says anything about cholesterol being bad.” They assert that “The only bad thing about cholesterol is not having enough,” and claim that “One of the biggest defenses against stroke is cholesterol.” They further connect depression to serotonin levels, stating “Depression is directly related to how much serotonin is in the body,” and conclude that “Who controls the amount of serotonin that's manufactured? Cholesterol.”

The speaker discusses a study conducted by Dr. Matt Budoff from the Alonquista Institute at UCLA. The study looked at individuals on low-carb ketogenic diets with extremely high LDL cholesterol levels. They compared these individuals to a control group with normal LDL cholesterol levels. The study found no statistically significant difference in plaque buildup in the arteries between the two groups. While the speaker acknowledges that LDL cholesterol is still considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the findings suggest that in this specific population of healthy individuals on a low-carb diet, high LDL cholesterol may not be a significant factor in the development of cardiovascular disease. Further research is needed to explore these findings.

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." It's a "$20,000,000,000 annual market" for a drug that helps "zero point one percent" of the people who take it. Share this before your doctor prescribes you a solution for a problem you don't have.

Cholesterol is a nutrient, not a disease, and is essential for sex hormones, steroid hormones like cortisol, vitamin D synthesis, and bile. It is also needed for every cell membrane. In 2015, the American Heart Association said cholesterol is no longer a nutrient of concern and removed the saturated fat cap of 10%. If we don't eat enough cholesterol, our bodies will make it. The true problem in blood work is triglycerides, which can be reduced by dropping carbs, not with drugs. Lowering carbs and triglycerides will improve heart health.

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.

The Peter Attia Drive Podcast

#19 – Dave Feldman: stress testing the lipid energy model
Guests: Dave Feldman, Thomas Dayspring
reSee.it Podcast Summary
In this episode of "The Peter Attia Drive," host Peter Attia discusses cholesterol and cardiovascular health with guests Dave Feldman and Thomas Dayspring. The conversation centers around Feldman's cholesterol drop protocol and the concept of "lean mass hyper-responders," individuals who experience high LDL cholesterol levels on low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diets. Feldman expresses skepticism about the traditional view that LDL is a causal factor in heart disease, while Attia shares his doubts about Feldman's model, particularly regarding mass balance and the mechanisms behind elevated LDL levels. Attia outlines three main points of contention: the inability to explain the mass balance of cholesterol, the relationship between VLDL production and LDL concentration, and the dismissal of genetic mutations that affect cholesterol levels. He emphasizes the complexity of atherosclerosis, which involves multiple risk factors beyond lipoproteins. The discussion highlights the need for individuals to make informed decisions about their health, particularly those with high LDL levels due to dietary changes. Feldman shares his journey into lipidology, driven by personal health experiences and self-experimentation. He notes that many people on low-carb diets see increases in LDL cholesterol but may not be at risk for cardiovascular disease if they maintain high HDL and low triglyceride levels. Attia challenges this notion, arguing that high LDL levels should not be dismissed without considering the broader implications for cardiovascular health. The conversation delves into the nuances of lipid metabolism, the role of the liver in cholesterol synthesis and clearance, and the importance of understanding individual variations in lipid profiles. Attia and Feldman discuss the potential for future research to clarify the relationship between cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive data to guide clinical decisions. Throughout the episode, both guests acknowledge the complexity of lipidology and the ongoing debates within the field. They encourage listeners to critically evaluate the information presented and to consider the implications of their dietary choices on their health. The discussion concludes with a call for further exploration of the connections between diet, cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease, highlighting the importance of continued research and dialogue in this area.

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.

In this episode of the Ultimate Human Podcast, British cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra discusses the misconceptions surrounding statin therapy and LDL cholesterol. He highlights that most statin users are low-risk individuals and that the benefits of statins in preventing heart attacks are minimal—one in a hundred over five years. Dr. Malhotra emphasizes that elevated LDL cholesterol is not an independent risk factor for heart disease and may even correlate with longevity in older populations. He points out that chronic stress is a significant risk factor for heart disease, equating it to smoking 20 cigarettes a day. Lifestyle changes, including diet and meditation, can reverse heart disease, as demonstrated by a study in India where patients experienced a 20% reduction in artery blockages through lifestyle interventions.
