The Cholesterol Myth

Heart disease is still the undisputed champion when it comes to being the #1 cause of death in the United States and abroad. Over the last three decades medicine has waged a war on cholesterol in an effort to save lives. Despite the billions of dollars in statin drug prescriptions we are no closer to solving heart disease. In fact, since 2010 heart disease is on the rise despite statin drug prescriptions being at an all time high. The reason? Because cholesterol is not the enemy but rather uncontrolled inflammation of the blood vessels. In this episode we will go through the vital importance of having cholesterol in your body and show you how LDL is not the bad cholesterol but one of the most important lipoproteins that we need for all health and wellbeing.
