The brain needs cholesterol to function, and people with very high cholesterol rarely get Alzheimer's. Low-fat diets push people toward carbs, which cause the health problems cholesterol drugs treat. Margarine and seed oils are worse than we're told.
Chapters
Have you ever wondered why people with really high cholesterol barely seem to get Alzheimer's, and yet everyone online, probably your doctor too, is trying to push yours as low as it can go? Think about what your brain actually runs on— fat more than anything else. Your brain is only about 2% of your body weight, but it holds a quarter of all the cholesterol in your body. It literally runs on this stuff. So maybe a good cholesterol level is actually higher than they've been telling you. They terrified everyone about cholesterol and put millions of people on medication for life. They pushed the fat-free diet on all of us. And when you strip the fat out of your food, you never feel full. You end up eating a mountain of carbs instead, which drives the exact problems we're treating. Then they told everyone to switch to margarine and seed oils, which are loaded with trans fats we all know are bad for you. And you'd think all that finally crushed heart disease. It didn't. It's still the number one killer in the country. Makes you wonder, who is this whole thing really built for? Follow because I question the stuff they tell us not to every single day.
