THEY PAID HARVARD SCIENTISTS TO BLAME FAT. SO THEY COULD FEED YOU SUGAR FOR 50 YEARS.
In 1967, the Sugar Research Foundation paid three Harvard scientists the equivalent of $50,000 to publish a review in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Their instructions were simple: minimize the link between sugar and heart disease, and blame cholesterol and saturated fat instead.
It worked. The entire world shifted to "low-fat" diets. But when you remove fat from food, it tastes like cardboard. So the food industry replaced the fat with high-fructose corn syrup.
The result? The greatest explosion of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease in human history.
Your brain is 60% fat. Your cell membranes are made of fat. Your hormones are built from cholesterol. When you stopped eating natural fats, your body began to break down.
They did not make a mistake. They made a market. A sick population is a profitable population.
Stop fearing what your ancestors ate for 200,000 years. Start fearing what was invented in a laboratory 50 years ago.
THEY INVENTED A DISEASE SO THEY COULD SELL YOU THE CURE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
In the 1980s, the pharmaceutical industry had a problem. They had developed a new class of drugs called statins to lower cholesterol, but not enough people had high cholesterol to make the drug profitable.
So they did something brilliant. They changed the definition of high cholesterol.
In 1998, the medical establishment lowered the threshold for "high cholesterol" from 240 to 200. Overnight, 42 million healthy people were suddenly diagnosed with a "disease" they did not have the day before.
In 2004, they lowered it again. Millions more became patients.
Today, statins are the most profitable class of drugs in human history, generating over $1 trillion in sales.
But here is the truth they buried: Cholesterol is not your enemy. It is the building block of your brain. Your brain is 60% fat, and cholesterol is essential for neural communication. It is the precursor to testosterone, estrogen, and vitamin D.
When there is inflammation in your arteries, your liver sends cholesterol to patch the damage. Blaming cholesterol for heart disease is like blaming the firefighters for the fire just because they are always at the scene.
When you take a statin, you are shutting down your liver's ability to produce the very substance your brain needs to function. This is why the most common side effects of statins are memory loss, muscle pain, and chronic fatigue.
They turned a vital biological repair mechanism into a disease.
Stop fearing cholesterol. Start fixing the inflammation that causes your body to need it.
