LDL Hypothesis On Trial

Will you challenge YOUR doctor about cholesterol? This whole thing is a fradulent con job. Have you read this article by Anthony Colpo on the Internet?

Ask your doctor this: "Why have numerous statin trials found NO CORRELATION between the degree of cholesterol reduction and the extent of reduced heart attack risk?"


"Bad Cholesterol or Bad Science" by Anthony Colpo

Because the statin's are just attacking the symptom (high cholesterol levels) and not the underlying cause of the high cholesterol (poor diet).

When you look at studies that look at naturally occurring cholesterol levels, that is those not manipulated by drugs, you see clear correlations between high cholesterol levels and increased risk of heart disease.

Sorry, what you believed for all those years is FALSE . Cholesterol is no the cause of heart disease.

The cholesterol hypothesis is currently being REPLACED.

What are you talking about? I didn't say anything about cholesterol being the cause of heart disease. I said that higher cholesterol levels are correlated with increased risk for heart disease.

You're not very familiar with science....are you?

You don't know, you're just assuming and trying to pigeonhole people.

Whatever damages the arterial wall is the cause of Coronary Heart Disease . There are many factors about this complex disease that have NOTHING to do with diet.

There are? Like what? But regardless of whether or not there are "factors" that are independent of diet, there are still numerous "factors" that are related to diet. Americans aren't dropping dead of heart disease randomly, its the people eating high fat and/or refined foods that are dropping dead of heart disease....
