Fat Myths

So-called government and health "authorities" never tire of reminding those of us who live in industrialized countries that heart disease is a major cause of death. They go even further when they tell us that heart disease is eminently preventable, all the while conceding that one's genetic background predetermines numerous factors with influence over each individual's risk of succumbing to heart attack. They tout that diet is a foremost factor among causes of heart disease and that modifying your diet provides a workable means of preventing heart attacks.

Heart disease is the number-one killer. However, traditional heart disease protocols - with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol - have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease.

A powerful exposé that reveals how “heart-healthy” seed oils have silently sabotaged our health—and how returning to real, natural fats can restore vitality, balance, and truth to the modern diet. For decades, we were told to trade butter for margarine, and lard for “vegetable oil.” We followed the experts’ advice—and paid the price. Chronic inflammation, obesity, heart disease, and fatigue have all skyrocketed since the so-called “healthy oils” took over our kitchens.

The three biggest randomised studies ever run on vitamin D went looking for the promised payoff — fewer cancers, fewer heart attacks, fewer fractures, longer life — and in healthy adults who weren't deficient, they didn't find it.

You know the shelf this book sits next to: the deficiency-is-a-pandemic books, the take-it-for-everything promise, the megadose protocols. Most of it was written before VITAL (25,871 ...

A machine wrote this book, and it says so on the first page. That is not a confession buried in the fine print. It is the whole point. Here is the part that should matter to you. Every factual claim in these pages was checked against its primary source before it reached you. Where the machine reached past what the evidence actually showed, the check caught it, and the claim was cut or corrected — that happened here, more than once. A registered, practising doctor then reviewed the results and is accountable for what survived. That doctor stays unnamed on purpose; a book that grades a food...
