Still think saturated fat is bad for you? Still think eating eggs raises cholesterol? Still think high cholesterol causes heart disease?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, you really need to watch these videos. (But hey, you might learn something even if you answered “no”.)
In this presentation I:
- debunk the myth that eating saturated fat and cholesterol causes heart disease.
- explain why LDL and total cholesterol are not useful markers for heart disease.
- present three markers that are useful markers for heart disease.
- demonstrate that low-fat, high carb diets promote – rather than protect against – heart disease.
- show you how eating saturated fat and cholesterol can prevent heart attacks
- tell you how to order a test that more accurately predicts your risk of heart disease
At the end of these two videos, you’ll be heading to the fridge for some extra butter or cheese on those veggies or a little extra cream in your coffee!

hi Chris,
my NMR lypoprofile is like yours: high HDL, low triglycerides, high LDL comprised almost entirely of large buoyant particles. So, like you, I didn’t care about my high cholesterol either.
But I damn sure care now because I’ve been turned down for health insurance three times.
I even got a calcium heartbeat scoring. Got a perfect score: zero arterial calcification. Still, the health insurance companies think I’m on the verge of keeling over any moment.
Any advice? -
Our disease-care system is such a joke. They claim to have “evidence-based” policies and guidelines, yet their “evidence” is 25 years (or more) out-of-date.
Here’s something to consider. Krill oil at 2-3g/d has been shown to lower LDL substantially in one study. You could pound that stuff for a month and re-test to see if your LDL has come down to “acceptable” levels. Or you could try getting a letter from your doctor (if he/she is at least half-way clued in, he/she will know that TG/HDL is far more important than LDL a a risk factor) stating that you’re in excellent heart health. Not sure if that would help, though.

I may try your krill oil suggestion, Chris. I have tried the doctor letter approach to no avail. So I guess just take my experience as a word to the wise: if you have health insurance, do everything you can to keep it if you have cholesterol numbers that do not jive with current dogma.

Mike: I have also heard anecdotal reports of people lowering their LDL with flax oil or flax seed meal. May be worth adding that to your regimen until you can clear the test.
Our insurance system is absurd.
