*This is a very useful 'must read' article. It makes sense
to me. Even if you have received this before it is worth reading it
again.*
*Low Cholesterol Levels Increases Cancer
Risk* - American College of
Cardiology
For years, I've been telling my patients that the medical
establishment's obsession with lowering cholesterol per se to prevent heart
disease is causing more harm than good.
If your doctor continues to get
you worried about your high cholesterol levels, here's *a bit of good news* for
you...
In fact, your high
cholesterol may be protecting you from cancer.
Today, I'll
explain the truth behind the myth of cholesterol, and show you how to achieve
heart health naturally !
A new study published in the Journal of the
American College of Cardiology revealed that driving down cholesterol levels
actually increases the risk of cancer.
Researchers
at the Tufts University School of Medicine found that among people taking
"*statin drugs - like Lipitor and Zocor* - there was a higher *rate of
cancer*. Although the link between
the drugs and cancer wasn't clear, there was no doubt that *drastically low
cholesterol levels* correlated to cancer risk".
The big
drug makers continue to sell the notion that the best way to fight heart disease
is to lower LDL levels, the so-called "bad" cholesterol.
Yet 75
percent of people who suffer heart attacks have *normal cholesterol levels*
!
It makes sense that low
cholesterol levels are linked to cancer because cholesterol is one of your
body's basic building blocks. You need it to
produce testosterone, to build and repair cell membranes, and to preserve your
nerve cells through the formation of the protective "sheaths" that cover
them.
Starving your body of this
critical substance will lead to other health problems. We already know
that extremely low
cholesterol levels result in muscle weakness, fatigue, depression, decreased sex
drive, and "brain fog." This new research shows that there may
be even more *deadly consequences*.
What
really matters is not low "*bad cholesterol, but high levels of HDL*, the
so-called "good" cholesterol*". As long as you have a high HDL count -
75 to 80, for example - it doesn't matter whether your total cholesterol is 150
or 350. A high HDL
will always keep your risk of heart disease extremely
*low*.
So why haven't you heard this
already? It may be because there's *no drug that effectively raises good
cholesterol levels*. You can only effectively do it
naturally.
Consume
natural fats. Avoid processed or fast foods containing
* "trans" fats * - these man-made substances *were never meant for consumption*,
and your body doesn't know what to do with them !!!. They wind up clogging your
arteries and putting you on the fast track to heart disease.
*
Instead, get your fat from
free-range or grass-fed animals, eggs, nuts, and *unprocessed vegetable
oils*. These are some of the healthiest foods you can eat. (As
with all foods, look for organic or minimally processed options whenever
possible.)
The health benefit of these natural fats comes from their
balance of *Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids*. Your body needs both but, as with
cholesterol, they have to be in balance. *Omega-3s are
great for your heart. They've been shown to prevent irregular
heartbeat, reduce clogging of the arteries, lower blood pressure, and decrease
inflammation in body tissues*.
If you stick to eating *natural fats*, you'll automatically get
the right ratio of Omega-6 and
Omega-3, which is about 2:1. As an added bonus, you'll
automatically raise your "good" cholesterol levels and you'll reduce your risk
of cancer. |
