Medical Dogma – Fats and Cholesterol

Posted on by

How did our health authorities miss the role of sugars as the primary cause of age related illness in modern civilization.   There are many reasons why authorities under pressure to debate, judge and decide are confused about the difference between association with causation.   Almost every day we are subject to statistics which are misunderstood.  Although more than 80% of heart attack victims in America are English speaking it is clearly not a cause.  Statistics  can be used to show that  patients travelling to hospital in ambulances have higher morbidities than those travelling by public transport.

The causes of modern diseases have erroneously been attributed to dietary fat and cholesterol.  This erroneous dogma conflicts with the causative evidence that Carbohydrate (Sugar generating foods) are the real issue in modern diets.

AGEs & RAGEs

Statins increase life expectancy in short-term trials, but not by very much. There are questions about the accuracy of trial results and the safety of statins in the long-term is not established. The cost-effectiveness of statins is also poor and the cost to the NHS for all those currently being suggested as needing them would be crippling.

Until a considerable amount of better evidence is available that demonstrate statins do have real, long-term benefits without serious adverse side effects, it might be wise to restrict their use to patients at very high risk.

AGEs (Advanced Glycaemic End-products)

The other cause of sugar damage is the uncontrolled (non-enzymic) attachment of excess sugar molecules (e.g. fructose and glucose) to proteins (such as collagen, elastin and receptors) around the body.  Over time this gives rise to sugar-damaged proteins known as appropriately as Advanced Glycaemic End-products (AGEs). These AGEs cause, joints, arteries, heart, lungs and skin etc. to lose their elasticity.

The transport of the fat soluble nutrients (including vitamins A, D & E )  to all the organs of the body rely upon Lipids (fatty droplets) produced by the liver and circulating in the blood in the blood.   A simplified version of this mechanism has the liver sending large particles (LDL) to deliver the nutrients and the tissues returning smaller particles (HDL) for recycling.  The particles have apolipoproteins (APO) as labels  the to identify their destination and purpose. Matching receptors are deployed on tissues to latch onto the lipids droplets they require.   When the labels and receptors are damaged by attached sugars, the tissues cannot get the fats they require and the fats are scavenged by visceral fat cells in the abdomen.  This causes a cascade leading to a variety of AGE related diseases as we age.

Oxidative Stress

One way is the damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are produced by the burning of blood sugar (Glucose) and oxygen in our cells to  produce energy. The free radicals produced by this can cause oxidation damage to surrounding tissues (oxidative stress). The body uses a variety of anti-oxidants (e.g. cholesterol & CoQ10) to control or limit such damage but these can be overwhelmed.  The rate of damage may exceed the rate of repair with excessive use of energy from sugar.

Sugar Damage

A spectrum of diseases, in modern civilisation, are caused by sugar damage. Such diseases include Diabetes, Heart Diseases, Alzheimer’s and a variety of conditions such as hardening of arteries, raised blood pressure, abdominal obesity and ageing skin.

‘Don’t be disgusting! You’ve no right to talk about my Mother like that. She was right about you, she always said you didn’t know how to behave, and that you dressed like a tart. Look at you now, tarted up in that yellow dress like, like it was a day out in Blackpool not the day of my Father’s funeral!’

 ‘I put this on because your Dad said he liked it, it was like a bit of sunshine, he said.’
