For Part 1 click here For Part 2 click here Today's article is the third in a series of three intended to expose the truth about the cause of heart disease and the American Heart Association's role in hiding the truth from the American public, meaning doctors, patients, and everyone else. I hope this story convinces you that the AHA does not have your best interests at heart and that if you are interested in avoiding heart attacks and strokes, the last place you should turn to for advice is the AHA. I also hope that doctors who now follow…
For Part One, Click HERE This is the second in a series of three articles that explode the myth that cholesterol is the cause of heart disease. Today's article will cover a dark period in scientific history that forever changed the course of human health and our relationship with food. My hope is this article will open everyone's eyes to the reality that the American Heart Association—the organization that taught your doctor high LDL cholesterol in your blood causes heart attacks—has betrayed our trust by feeding us fake news in the form of shady science, and has been doing so…
The American Heart Association has been in the fake news business for decades. This means everything your doctors learned about heart attacks, strokes, LDL and HDL cholesterol, and nutrition is wrong. In fact, the nutrition advice coming from our most trusted institutions couldn't be better designed to make you sick. This article is the first in a series intended to shed light on a dark chapter of American history that few people know about: the story of how we as a nation became convinced that cholesterol is unhealthy, and the consequences of that belief. I will share with you what…
CNN keeps airing “The Last Heart Attack,” in which Dr. Sanjay Gupta tells the story of how and why President Bill Clinton was put on a vegan diet by Dr. Dean Ornish, and how Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn's #1 selling book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease echos the same dietary advice. As you know, reversing disease is something I care a lot about, but I'm not convinced Dr. Essylstyn's heart attack proof diet is delivering what he promises. Does this story really have a happy ending? Early in the show Dr. Gupta discusses Clinton’s strict vegan diet and defines its underlying philosophy:…
Imagine a world where everyone is on powerful cholesterol-lowering drugs. Not just sick people. Everyone. Astra Zeneca has imagined it, and now they're going to see their dream come true. On December 16, the FDA announced their approval of Astra Zeneca's cholesterol-lowering drug Crestor for use in people without high cholesterol despite the fact that a new study showed conclusively that the drug causes diabetes. By a vote of 12 to 4, the panel judged that even people at very low risk of heart disease should take the cholesterol medication anyway. "I do think the diabetes problem is real, but…
Coffee: Friend or Foe? Coffee is one of the most popular breakfast items on the most popular diet (a Paleo Diet) menu. Indeed, I've read reports claiming that coffee has antioxidants that may prevent heart disease, and other compounds that may help to prevent certain cancers. At the other end of the argument, many natural health newsletters treat coffee like it's worse than cocaine--blaming coffee for everything from "burning out" our adrenal glands and harming our kidneys, to mood swings, fatigue, and depression. So is starting you day with coffee really going to make you "Bulletproof"? Moderation is the key. …
