"The Cholesterol Myths : Exposing the Fallacy that Saturated Fat and Cholesterol
Cause Heart Disease" by Uffe Ravnskov was first published January 1997.
Quotes:
1) The only effective way to lower cholesterol (blood levels, just the numbers) is with
drugs.
2) The “prudent” diet cannot lower cholesterol more than on average a few per cent.
Your body produces three to four times more cholesterol than you eat.
3) Cholesterol-lowering drugs, the statins, do prevent cardio-vascular disease, but this
is
due to other mechanisms than cholesterol-lowering.
4) Cholesterol is not a deadly poison
5) A high cholesterol is not dangerous by itself, but may reflect an unhealthy condition
6) There are dangers associated with an consumption of polyunsaturated oils.
