The bad science that lead to the Cholesterol Myth

There is no research, that I have found, that supports the use of cholesterol medications in preventing heart attacks. I have been off cholesterol meds for years and by diet and other factors, have improved. BUT even so, there is no real proof that the high numbers kill us. I know that I believed all of the hype about eating low fat. I was put on a low fat diet, recommended by the American Heart Association. My cholesterol went up, anyway, so that did not help, but I also gained weight. Now I eat fat, eat red meat but do not eat sugar, corn syrup, white flour, white rice, white potatoes, etc. and my health has improved. A good book to read is "Licking the Sugar Habit" by Nancy Appleton, M.D. A good site to visit, where there is a good collection of articles on this on mercola.com.

Often being told high cholesterol leads to heart disease due mainly to our eating habits and lifestyle. During these recent years, I have been very careful with the food in that are with lower cholesterol effect. Consuming some chinese herbs help to eliminate our cholesterol, and I have made it a habit to do so as a routine, which I feel good.
