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.

Making Cholesterol in The Body

In this video extract Glyn explains why it is vital that the body is able to make cholesterol in every cell. A healthy body will make about 3-4 g per day. Cholesterol is required by all the cells in the body and without it they will leak and fail.By blocking this process a statin can damage a large amount of vitality in all organs.

With yet another misguided attempt to remove cholesterol from humans let me explain their stupidity:

The lipid nutrition cycle has large low-density lipids (LDL)
out-bound from the liver, taking fatty nutrition to all organs in the body.
Smaller high-density lipoproteins (HDL) form on the return side, taking excess
or damaged lipids back to the liver. In a healthy person there is a ratio of
about 5:1 (LDL/HDL) when the cycle is working correctly.

The unscientific characterisation this lipid nutrition cycle
ratio as ‘good cholesterol’ and ‘bad cholesterol’ has created an extremely poor
understanding, and consequently inappropriate treatment, of total serum
cholesterol.

The bitly link to my conference presentation (notes &
references) gives the detailed explanation.

In summary it is the failure of the lipid receptor mechanism that allows LDL to build up and that damage is often glycation (AGE) caused by reactive blood sugars (glucose and more recently fructose).

Professionals who talk about good cholesterol and bad cholesterol are simply displaying total ignorance of their field.

Low-carbohydrate
high-fat (LCHF) diets are at least as effective as other dietary
strategies for reducing body weight, with the additional advantage of
increased satiety and spontaneous reduction in energy intake.

LCHF
diets are an effective dietary strategy to improve glycaemic control
and reduce hyperinsulinaemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus and in
otherwise healthy patients with insulin resistance.

LCHF
diets have unique effects on blood lipid concentrations and
cardiovascular risk factors, characterised by decreased blood TG, ApoB
and saturated fat concentrations, reduced small LDL particle numbers and
increased HDL-C concentrations. The effect on LDL-C concentrations is
variable.
