Dee said, >http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/conditions/cholesterol1.shtml I found this article on the web Terry, and looking at what you have written, it is mainly wrong! Could you have a look and see what you think? If it is wrong, then how can such as the BBC publish such nonsense? <
The BBC will publish whatever the official position is on pretty much everything, the same as the mainline media does in North America. The problem concerning what the medical establishment tells us nowadays about heart disease originally started with some fairly logical but erroneous early-century science. During the early 1900s, various manifestations of heart disease began to occur. The first few cases of it were misdiagnosed because the doctors had never seen it before. As the incidents of it began to increase, the medical scientists began to pay closer attention to it. They discovered that every case of heart disease was accompanied by high blood cholesterol, and they came to the conclusion that high blood cholesterol caused heart disease. In reality, they got the cart before the horse. Heart disease causes high cholesterol, not the other way around. By the time the doctors discovered their error (well over 30 years ago), two things had occurred. First, they couldnt very well come out with a public statement like, Whoops! Hey, folks, we got it backwards, but its OK, we have it right now and you can trust us again. The medical High Priesthood never apologizes nor admits to error. Secondly, there was a burgeoning, highly-profitable poly-unsaturated oil industry, plus the doctors were making major dollars doing heart surgeries and other expensive heart disease treatments (not to mention lucrative statin and other drugs). Eighty years ago there was a health issue that occasionally occurred in seniors, but which has become the number two killer of seniors today. Im talking about Alzheimers disease (AL). For about 80 years or so the doctors have been warning us away from high-cholesterol foods, and the public has dutifully complied. But if your body doesnt get the cholesterol it needs from your diet, it will scavenge it from the best sources it can find within the body. Guess where the largest reservoir of cholesterol is in your body? Your brain is composed of 70% cholesterol! Now let me see: 80 or so years ago AL was quite uncommon. For the last 80 or so years folks have been running from eggs, butter, etc. Today AL is the number two killer of seniors. I can do the math. When a client tells me they have high blood pressure or heart disease, I put them on 2 eggs per day, minimum. Of course, I impress on them the importance of buying eggs from healthy, back-yard chickens that run around and eat like they were designed to do.
