[QUOTE="robertconroy, post: 163809, member: 30728"] I've been really studying this topic for the last 11 years so here is my opinion from the many books, articles, and drug studies I've read: 60% of heart attacks are in people with normal or low choesterol. Something else must be at play here. The real culprit is silent inflamation, not cholesterol. Eating too much saturated fat can put you at higher risk for diabetes. Mortality by heart disease is shown to be somewhat (but just one factor) related to having too high cholesterol. There is also a mortality risk related to having too low cholesterol. Stress is actually more highly associated with heart attack. Drugs that lower cholesterol can put you at higher risk of other diseases and death. Cholesterol is protective for every cell in your body and if it gets too low, below a certain point, it puts you at inversly higher risk for cancer. Anotherwords, the lower your cholesterol gets below that point, the higher risk you have of developing terminal cancer. Cholesterol lowering drugs (Statins) have shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals at the equivalent of a human prescription dose. Statin drugs have never shown to reduce mortality. Fish oil is much more effective at protecting your heart, especially after having one heart attack. A lowfat diet does not prevent heart disease. In fact, eating lower fat may result in higher consumption of high glycemic carbohydrates, which can raise your risk of diabetes, stroke, heart attack, cancer, osteoporosis, obesity, hyperinsulemia, etc., etc. Researchers are now saying eat more protein, more fat, more fiber, and less complex carbohydrates that raises your insulin levels, and your blood sugar. High insulin levels causes all types of problems including insulin resistance (prediabetes), type II diabetes, metabolic syndome, and heart disease just to name a few. Now when a person walks into a doctors office with a big tummy, rather than checking their cholesterol, the doctor should be checking their insulin levels. Which is currently hardly ever done.
