I am writing about the topic covered in this weeks newsletter because I feel the importance of this information cannot be overlooked. I am always looking for more information on the relationship between diet and health and this relationship is discussed/summarized quite well in the attachments below. I previously had sent out a newsletter about the failed lipid hypothesis and the information provided here is a further extension of that topic. The lecture linked by Dr. Donald Miller Jr. was presented about 3 months ago.
I cringe whenever I hear the term, artery clogging saturated fat (as if to distinguish that from regular saturated fat) when the evidence to support that notion is flimsy and doesn’t stand up to close scrutiny. We have been brainwashed for over 50 years. If saturated fat was so bad and knowing that breast milk is 54% saturated fat, then that should lead us to dissuade new mothers from breast feeding due to the excess saturated fat that their babies will receive. Crazy to even consider if you ask me.
When looking at the intake of dietary fat and the risk of heart disease, the numbers are all over the place and there is not a linear relationship between fat intake and coronary artery disease as we are led to believe. As Dr. Miller so astutely states, “Blaming cholesterol for atherosclerosis is like blaming firemen for the fire they have come to put out.” The information implicating fat and cholesterol as the sole cause for heart disease is slowly starting to unravel. Most (physicians included) have not caught on yet and likely won’t for years to come. There are many studies available demonstrating that cholesterol is not the villain we make it out to be. We just choose to ignore those studies. Our government is no help as they promote the dietary guidelines that have led us down this path of destruction. Do what our evolution dictates and you are likely to find yourself in a healthier state
This topic is not meant to be a discussion on cholesterol specifically, as that will require a more extensive newsletter. Refuting the supposed facts with the real facts will only be heard and accepted by the open minded. These facts and information may become mainstream (hopefully) over the next 10-20 years or else we will continue to face escalating health problems. Don’t even get me started on statins as that house of cards is finally starting to fall as more and more people are discovering the truth/facts (diabetes, dementia etc.).
I hope the information linked below is interesting and helpful and you will make the time to avail yourself to this. Your life may depend on it. At the very least, watch the lecture by Dr. Donald Miller. If you’re looking for entertainment, watch the video Fat Head. Arm yourself with information and you may be able to stay away from the medical care system until your dying day (I hope).
Very well written post. It will be valuable to anybody who utilizes it, as well as myself. Keep doing what you are doing – for sure i will check out more posts.
