The Cholesterol Story – An Essay

The final edition of Dark Side of Statins by Dr Duane Gravelin MD explains why the drug has been such a huge disappointment and damaging mistake to a large proportion of patients. In it he included my essay “The Wonder of Cholesterol” which is a simplified explanation of why cholesterol is vital to our wellbeing and any attempt to lower it was always doomed to cause ill health. A key point in all this was the failure to recognise that the real cause of lipid dysfunction was sugar-damage (glycosylation) to the lipid receptors in all the organs of the body. We now have huge numbers of patients who are using carbohydrate restriction to reverse age-related diseases like mature-onset diabetes (T2D). Data being recorded by their Health Carers shows that the lipid profile (LDL/HDL) improves as the sugar-damage, as measured by HbA1c, is lowered.

You may be shocked by what you learn here, especially if you are a health care professional (HCP).  Misleading the front line HCPs, GPs and Patients about the true nature of lipids and cholesterol seems to have been very deliberate. In this interview Dr Sarah Pugh discusses this deception with myself. It worked and clearly encouraged statin use on a massive scale. The unscientific Good/Bad label falsely convinced everyone that blood lipids (HDL/LDL) were two versions of the one molecule – cholesterol. In this part of the video we see two biochemists exposing this scam in plain language.
