Dr. Dwight Lundell (a heart surgeon with over 25 years’ experience, having performed over 5,000 open-heart surgeries) has written a very revealing article on what causes heart disease. Dr. Lundell stated that he trained for many years with other prominent physicians which he labeled opinion makers. He said, We opinion makers insisted heart disease resulted from the simple fact of elevated blood cholesterol. The only accepted therapy was prescribing medications to lower cholesterol and a diet that severely restricted fat intake. The latter of course we insisted would lower cholesterol and heart disease. Deviations from these recommendations were considered heresy and could quite possibly result in malpractice. These recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible. The long-established dietary recommendations have created epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Despite the fact that 25% of the U.S. population takes cholesterol lowering medications and despite the fact that many have reduced fat in the diet, there continues to be an epidemic of heart disease in America. ITS INFLAMMATION NOT CHOLESTEROL that is the problem! Without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that cholesterol would accumulate in the wall of the blood vessel and cause heart disease and strokes. The real answer to reducing heart disease and strokes IS NOT in the reduction of cholesterol but in the reduction of inflammation within the body. youtube/watch?v=24mppmfEGlc
