Why We Live Longer with Higher Cholesterol Levels - Paperback

by Lynne D. M. Noble (Author)

Many years ago I undertook a piece of research on memory decline. Research generally takes you into avenues that are not the main focus of your research but are intriguing enough to make you want to return to that particular area in the future.My research led me to investigate cholesterol a little further. Sure, I had heard of it but didn't really know much about it, nor what it did. I had heard it was 'bad' and needed to be kept reined in by medication known as statins but, when I delved further, I came to understand just how much we need cholesterol in order to maintain a healthy and productive life. The impact on our health is so far reaching that this liquid gold and its demonization is incongruous with basic common sense. My body of research grew and grew and, as it did so, I became more and more alarmed at the devastating damage on the human body that artificially lowering cholesterol levels, through taking statins, can do.How did we come to an acceptance that mass medication of populations, with statins has become the norm especially when all robust peer reviewed studies have demonstrated that there is no connection between high cholesterol and cardiovascular risk? Indeed, we have been fed myths galore and they have become so much of our conversation that we now believe them with all our hearts. This is a dangerous thing to do. Look behind the hype and you will begin to see the falsehoods that have been perpetuated by those whose interests do not lie with the patients who will be fed statins. Is there such a thing as good and bad cholesterol? Well, no! Cholesterol is cholesterol with a diversity of amazing benefits for the human body but very few people will go out and seek this information for themselves. This book is intended to reveal the truth about cholesterol and statins. It will also reveal the real culprit behind cardiovascular disease and what an ordinary lay person can do to lower that risk. It will demonstrate why taking statins can shorten your life and be responsible for heart disease and how research has shown that taking statins can also dramatically increase your risk of neurodegenerative disorders. Finally, this book reveals the over the counter nutrient that can reverse heart disease and further, requires no more effort to take than prescribed medication and without the side effects.
