Episode two: what the cholesterol myth tells us and how you can protect yourself from it

We all believe that cholesterol is so bad that we better measure it regularly and lower it by drugs.  Just ask your cardiologist: Got to get that LDL cholesterol below 70 or catastrophe will ensue!  But as we explain, this is a myth that germinated back in the 1950's and has been perpetuated and normalized over time.  Virtually all doctors believe in this myth and preach it to you.  The facts are far different.  Measuring and lowering cholesterol does not help prevent heart attacks or allow you to live a day longer; in fact, it is both deceptive and dangerous.  And going on a low-fat died is medically insane and causes significant inflammation in the body that actually promotes diabetes and heart attacks.  This podcast will take you through the history and science and help you to protect yourself from this prevailing myth and become smarter than your doctor."The greater the ignorance, the greater the dogmatism."  -William Osler, MDwww.returntohealing.com
