The Cholesterol Story


In the 1950s Cholesterol was erroneously blamed for causing heart disease.   The 'bad science' of this accusation was the equivalent of blaming Ambulances for causing critical illness.  Ambulances are known to deliver people to Hospital A&E in a much poorer condition than Buses but are not a cause of the poorer condition.

Statistical Association does not prove Causation.   

But that was how fat and cholesterol were  wrongly blamed for heart disease   - the real culprit is sugar damage from carbohydrates but sugars make money!

The commercial interest of the food and drugs industries have financed and influenced much of the research publicised by the media but if you look carefully at research the true underlying story is out there. By facilitating high sugar, low fat and low cholesterol lifestyles industry can make billions of dollars globally every month.

The publications linked from these pages are the result of years of reviewing of published research and I am grateful to my associates for the chance to celebrate in research reviews the amazing story of cholesterol.  Cholesterol facilitated the evolutionary development of eukaryote cells. Over the last two decades lipidologists have shown how
Cholesterol is vital to the health of every cell in our bodies.
