Hi Todd and everyone, I found a chapter called Crazy About Cholesterol: Medicine's Red Herring in the book What Doctors DON'T Tell You by Lynne McTaggart ISBN 0-380-79607-4 "In the 1960s doctors first hypothesized that lowering blood cholesterol levels would prevent heart attacks and strokes. This led to the belief that if we lowered cholesterol-either by drugs or by limiting fat intake-we could prevent heart attacks; this in turn has led to an entire food and medical industry devoted to screening for high blood cholesterol and lowering it... Nevertheless, we have never been able to PROVE a cause-and-effect relationship between cholesterol and heart disease... In fact, cholesterol-lowering may be one of the biggest red herrings of the century. Recently, new scientific evidence proves that cholesterol may not even be the main cause of heart disease. ....most heart patients have normal cholesterol levels." McTaggart goes on to quote from T. Bod Eaton, Ronald Schmid (Native Nutrition) , Price, Pottenger and Anne Marie Colbin (Food and Healing). Cholesterol testing is are often inaccurate as well as being meaningless. Paleohugs l
