Claims About LDL Cholesterol, Longevity, and Statins

So I'm going to tell you not to worry at all about total

cholesterol. It is a fallacy that was developed in

the nineteen sixties and seventies to worry about total

cholesterol and

heart attack risk. Still, many people do not get the

memo that cholesterol is critically important.

That's why all animals have it. That's why breast milk has it.

That's why eggs contain it, because that's how a chicken comes to

life.

Don't, do not fear the total cholesterol.

In fact, for people older than sixty, the higher the

total cholesterol, the longer they live. That's right.

So if you have low cholesterol, be very afraid, especially

when you're over

sixty. Now, a study from two thousand and sixteen by over sixteen

different authors, including Uffe Ravnskov and also Aseem

Malhotra and other cardiologists are in this paper in the British Medical

Journal, showed that the majority of

studies show that the higher the

LDL cholesterol, the lower your risk of

dying. Get that? So the higher the LDL

cholesterol, the lower your risk of dying

overall. LDL is extremely important.

It has a role delivering things around the body. LDL is made in the liver.

It delivers passengers around the body, such as cholesterol itself,

triglycerides, fat-soluble vitamins, CoQ10.

It's part of the immune system. So LDL is critically important.

If your LDL is low,

worry. If your LDL is

high, quote-unquote high according to the

pharmaceutical company literature,

uh, you know, then, uh,

uh, that's a good thing as far as overall

mortality is concerned.

So you can check out that link,

uh, in the British Medical Journal, two thousand and sixteen.

Lead author is Uffe Ravnskov, who is a famish, uh,

famous, uh, Danish, uh, physician who's been writing about the

benefits of lipids

for, uh, for a long time. So don't believe the propaganda.

Don't believe the hype.

Statins are not the answer for you.

Find the optimal cholesterol for you based on the principles of

eat well, live well, think well, test, don't guess, evidence-based supplements,

biohacking strategies. That's the solution.
