Cholesterol Chaos, Cholesterol Clarity, Fat (Dietary) is the new Fit, What Really Causes Coronary Heart Disease and Your Sanity
The biological mechanism of the progress of Coronary artery disease and it's treatment urgently requires a paradigm shift. Despite popular belief among doctors, the media and the public, the conceptual plumbing model of dietary saturated fat clogging a pipe is just plain wrong. A recent milestone systematic review of dozens of medical studies showed: NO association between saturated fat consumption and (1) all-cause mortality (death), (2) coronary heart disease (CHD), (3) CHD mortality, (4) ischemic stroke or (5) type 2 diabetes in healthy adults. This is a gigantic SHIFT in our 'reality'. Similarly in the secondary prevention of CHD there is no benefit from reduced fat, including saturated fat, on myocardial infarction, cardiovascular or all-cause mortality. It is important to note that in an angiographic study of postmenopausal women with CHD, greater intake of saturated fat was associated with less progression of atherosclerosis whereas carbohydrate and polyunsaturated fat intake were associated with greater progression. There are many studies that show that moderately high cholesterol leads to a longer life. So what is the problem here? It is inflammation!!! Inflammation combined with higher cholesterol can be dangerous. Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting and life coach and gym chalk covered philosopher opens a conversation on Cholesterol and Inflammation and your heart health.
