GOVERNMENT BURIED THE TRUTH: SATURATED FAT DOESN'T KILL "The government actually funded massive trials that proved saturated fats & cholesterol DON'T cause heart disease—but they BURIED the results!" ~Nina Teicholz, PhD The Minnesota Coronary Experiment proved that lowering cholesterol RAISED death in men. For every 30 mg/dL drop in cholesterol, all-cause mortality risk increased by 22%. Sydney Diet Heart Study showed replacing saturated fats with vegetable oils increased death from heart disease by 62% & all-cause mortality by 70%. Unpublished raw data revealed the dangers of seed oils. Kailuan Study Low LDL & Stroke Risk revealed LDL <70 mg/dL linked to 2.69X higher risk of hemorrhagic stroke. High LDL & Longevity (Systematic Review, 19 studies, 6.3M+ participants) proved High LDL-C associated with greater longevity. Inverse relationship with mortality in elderly; no link to reduced lifespan. Contradicts statin-driven myths. Saturated fats & cholesterol are essential for health: - Absorb vitamins A, D, E, K - Support digestion & bile acids - Boost immunity against infections, bacteria, viruses - Lower cancer, depression, suicide risks - Optimal for brain (60% fat, 30% cholesterol) - Prevent osteoporosis, stroke, dementia - Protect against toxins & all-cause mortality Avoid seed oils like soybean, corn, canola—they cause oxidation & inflammation. Embrace heart-healthy fats: butter, ghee, tallow, lard, duck fat, & extra virgin 100% coconut, avocado & olive oil.

A Danish researcher proved cholesterol does not cause heart disease. They burned a copy of his book on live Finnish television. Dr. Uffe Ravnskov. Danish nephrologist and lipid researcher. He spent decades studying cholesterol up close. The deeper he looked, the less the official diet-heart hypothesis held up. The official story was simple. Saturated fat raises cholesterol. Cholesterol clogs arteries. Cholesterol causes heart disease. Lower it and you save lives. Ravnskov went back to the underlying trials and found the data did not support any of it. High-cholesterol countries did not have higher heart disease rates than low-cholesterol countries. The famous statin trials hid more than they showed. The dose-response that should exist if the theory was right kept refusing to show up. He publishes The Cholesterol Myths in Sweden. Detailed. Citation-heavy. Polite but devastating. The Finnish edition launches. Finnish proponents of the cholesterol hypothesis go on national television. On channel 2, on live air, a copy of the book is set on fire in protest. He kept going. In 2002 he founded THINCS. The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics. The first organized scientific dissent against the diet-heart hypothesis. More than a hundred doctors, researchers, and PhDs from around the world joined. Almost none of them got airtime. For thirty years the official advice did not move. Statins became the most prescribed drug in human history. Saturated fat guidance kept tightening every revision. Then January 2026 happened. The federal nutrition reset moved away from the low-saturated-fat era. The pyramid was inverted. Full-fat dairy returned to the official plate. The book they burned on Finnish television in 1992 turned out to be the early warning. Ravnskov was right. Most patients are still on the medication built on the theory he disproved. #NSNG #NoSugarNoGrains #VinnieTortorich #UffeRavnskov #CholesterolMyths #THINCS #SaturatedFat #RealFood #NutritionScience #MAHA

"Lowering Cholesterol Is A Complete Waste Of Time." Dr Aseem Malhotra, MD Cardiologist "There Was A Dogma...That Saturated Fat Causes Heart Disease. It's Complete Bull Sh*t." "Saturated Fat Does Not Cause Heart Disease." "Lowering LDL Does Not Prevent Cardiovascular Events." The greatest myth is that there is a relationship between high cholesterol & heart disease--it does not exist. There is Absolutely No Evidence That Shows Dietary Cholesterol Causes Cardiovascular Disease. Saturated Fats & Cholesterol Have No Effect on CVD Outcomes, Including Heart Attacks, Strokes, CVD Mortality & Total Mortality. There are no benefits to taking a Statin, yes they lower your cholesterol, but they do not lower Cardiovascular Risk or Disease. Statins are one of the most dangerous drugs because low cholesterol causes deadly side effects: 💊Statins cause CoQ10 deficiency, resulting in muscle pain & Mitochondrial Dysfunction. 💊Statins inhibit Heme A, a vital component of the electron transport chain for energy. 💊Statins stop Dolichol, a crucial molecule in protein glycosylation in the brain, deficiency leads to Parkinson's & other brain disorders. 💊Statins cause liver & pancreas damage, leading to insulin resistance & type 2 diabetes. 💊Every Statin crosses the blood brain barrier & shuts off the enzyme of cholesterol production leading to Dementia & Alzheimer's. The brain is supposed to be 60% fat & 25% cholesterol. 💊Cholesterol should not be lowered, it's critical for Vitamin D & all hormones, digestion, every cell should be saturated with healthy cholesterol. Chronic Conditions Caused By Cholesterol Lowering Statins: Muscle Pain Muscle Tearing Weakness Neuropathy Heart Failure Dizziness/Vertigo Cognitive Impairment Dementia Alzheimer's Disease Cancer Pancreatitis Liver Damage Diabetes Depression Parkinson's Disease ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) Testosterone Deficiency Estrogen Deficiency Brain Damage Multiple Sclerosis 🚨People suffer through these side effects, while Doctors assure them it will add years to their life. This is a lie also. The research has been done on this. Statins extend life by only 3.2 days!!🚨 A low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils, sugar & processed foods provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. This approach keeps Triglycerides low & HDL high, which is one of the best Cardio Biomarkers for Cardiac health. TG/HDL ratio optimally should be 1.5 or less. 👇The higher Your LDL, The Longer You Live👇 👇Statins Extend Life By Only 3.2 Days👇 👇Statin Use: No Reduction In CVD or Mortality👇 Speaker: Dr Aseem Malhotra, MD Cardiologist Video: @MAHAalliance

"I Can't Help Someone Who Is On A Statin...Cholesterol Lowering Drugs Have Screwed Up An Entire Generation." Dr Kevin Reese "Statins Directly Inflame The Liver & Create A Cholesterol Deficiency, Leading To Alzheimer's." Statins Are A $16 Billion Dollar Profit Driven Industry. Saturated fats & cholesterol have no effect on cardiovascular outcomes, including heart attacks, strokes & mortality. 75% of heart attacks occur in people with normal to low cholesterol. There are no benefits to taking a Statin, yes they lower your cholesterol, but they do not lower Cardiovascular Risk or Disease. Synthetically lowering cholesterol levels is very harmful to every bodily system. 🔴Statins cause liver & pancreas damage, leading to insulin resistance & type 2 diabetes. 🔴Statins cause CoQ10 deficiency, resulting in muscle pain & Mitochondrial Dysfunction. 🔴Every Statin crosses the blood brain barrier & shuts off the enzyme of cholesterol production leading to Alzheimer's. 🔴Statins stop Dolichol, a crucial molecule in protein glycosylation in the brain, deficiency leads to Parkinson's & other brain disorders. 🔴Statins inhibit Heme A, a vital component of the electron transport chain for energy.
