Dear Dr (Mrs) N. Kandiah,
Thank you for requesting my comment
on the article you sent below in parenthesis and in different
colours.
“Pharma companies extracted USD
2 trillion from consumers in the name of cholesterol level treatment.
What a shame on medical research fraud and authorities. Their incompetency
costed USD 2 trillion to people those who were fit and healthy.
*Cholesterol* is finally officially removed from Naughty List. The US
government has finally accepted that *cholesterol* is not a _nutrient of
concern_. *doing a U-turn* on their warnings to us to stay away from
high-cholesterol foods since the 1970s to avoid heart disease and clogged
arteries. This means eggs, butter, full-fat dairy products, nuts,
coconut oil and meat have now been classified as *safe* and have been
officially removed from the _nutrients of concern_ list. The US
Department of Agriculture, which is responsible for updating the guidelines
every five years, stated in its findings for 2015: "Previously, the
Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended that cholesterol intake be limited
to no more than 300 mg/day.
"The 2015 DGAC will not
bring forward this recommendation because available evidence shows no
appreciable relationship between consumption of dietary cholesterol and serum
(blood) cholesterol, consistent with the AHA/ACC (American Heart Association /
American College of Cardiology). The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee
will, in response, no longer warn people against eating high-cholesterol foods
and will instead focus on sugar as the main substance of dietary concern.
US cardiologist Dr Steven Nissen said: _It's the right decision_. _We
got the dietary guidelines wrong. They've been wrong for decades_."
When we eat more foods rich in this compound, our bodies make less. If we
deprive ourselves of foods high in cholesterol - such as eggs, butter, and
liver - our body revs up.
The Real Truth about Cholesterol.
The majority of the cholesterol in you is produced by your liver. Your brain is
primarily made up of cholesterol. It is essential for nerve cells to
function. Cholesterol is the basis for the creation of all the
steroid hormones, including oestrogen, testosterone, and corticosteroids.
*High cholesterol in the body is a clear indication which shows the
liver of the individual is in good health*
Dr. George V. Mann M.D. Associate
Director of the Framingham study for the incidence and prevalence of
cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors states: _Saturated fats
and cholesterol in the diet are not the cause of coronary heart disease. *That
myth is the greatest deception of the century, perhaps of any century*_
*Cholesterol is the biggest medical scam of all time* There is no such thing as
*bad Cholesterol*
So you can stop trying to change
your Cholesterol level. Studies prove beyond a doubt, cholesterol doesn't cause
heart disease and it won't stop a heart attack. *The majority of people
that have heart attacks have normal cholesterol levels. * OUR BODY NEEDS
950 mg OF CHOLESTEROL FOR DAILY METABOLISM AND THE LIVER IS THE MAIN Producer.
ONLY 15% OF CHOLESTEROL IS BEING DONATED BY THE FOOD WE EAT.
If the fat content is less in the
food we eat, our liver has to work more to maintain the level at 950 mg.
*If the cholesterol level is high in our body, it shows the liver is working perfect.
* Experts say that there is nothing like LDL or HDL. ………….. …..
*Cholesterol is not found to create blocks anywhere in the human body*.
Please share the recent facts about CHOLESTEROL”
Thank you for the post above.
I have written many times in the
past that cholesterol has nothing to do with heart disease, and neither egg,
brain or liver food all containing high cholesterol have anything to do with high
blood cholesterol, or with heart disease.
In fact, the homeostatic feedback
mechanism of the liver can cause the liver to produce 10 times more cholesterol
endogenously than all the cholesterol we can eat through food every day.
This means the amount of
cholesterol from food pales into nothing compared to what the liver can
synthesize.
For instance, one large egg
contains about 186 mg of cholesterol all found in the yolk. Suppose
we consume 10 eggs a day. The intake from 10 eggs alone amounts to 1860 mg.
An adult weighing 68
to 82 kg should have about 4,500 to 5,700 mL. of blood.
Let us use 5 litres (5,000 mL) as an average for easy calculation
for illustration.
This implies that even if he eats
10 eggs a day, his dietary contribution from eggs would only raise his blood
level of cholesterol by only 37 mg per 100 mL, not even wanting to consider
that about 0.4 g (400 mg) of cholesterol is being excreted
through the bile each day.
I have eaten at least two eggs
almost every day all my life since I was a child and until today at the age of
82, I have never had any high cholesterol or heart problems.
Furthermore, in 1969 when I started working at the Institute for Medical
Research, for at least 10 years I used to go an Indian food stall behind Indian
money lenders shop in Lebuh Ampang in Kuala Lumpur and have my
favourite lunch of Indian curry goat’s brain cooked with curry and eggs there every
day.
But when I checked my blood level
cholesterol, it was always normal, and its level has never been raised despite
so much curried goat’s brains. I have eaten daily for 10 years.
I might have at the same time
consumed a large amount of choline from the eggs and brain which is supposed to
be excellent for the brain and nervous system? Brain has the highest
amount of cholesterol among all the cholesterol-rich foods like egg yolk and
liver. I never till today have any problem with high cholesterol or heart
disease all my life.
In fact, eggs and brain food are
very high in choline which is very essential for brain function and
neurological development throughout life. See my write up attached on the
benefits of eggs here:

When I was studying in London
in 1964 my late professor, Professor John Yudkin who was a Professor of
Nutrition, University of London already told us cholesterol does not cause
heart disease, but refined white sugar does.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Yudkin
It was at the time when this theory
that cholesterol causes heart disease was rampantly believed among doctors who
influenced the lay public to believe the same.
When i was working in various Divisions - the
Nutrition Division, Community Medicine, Epidemioloigy and Clinical Research at the Institute for Medical Research (IMR) in 1968 - 1994, I used
to sign not just one, ten, or a hundred, but tens of thousands of analytical
reports on blood cholesterol levels in blood samples sent to us by tens of
hundreds of government hospitals every day.
They were sent to IMR from all over
Malaysia, from East and West Malaysia, and from hospitals near the Thai border
in the north to those in Johore and Johor Bahru in the south. In our
analysis we found no relationship between what the doctors wrote there in their
clinical notes about patients suspected of having heart
disease, ischemia and heart attack and their serum cholesterol levels
There were 3 parties involved here:
1. The Patient 2. The
doctor 3.
We, the analyst helping out the
doctor Initially, among the three parties we put the blame on ourselves
first. We thought we were wrong due to an analytical error. However, when we
saw what the doctor wrote there in their clinical notes did not tally with our
findings, we requested our medical lab technologists to repeat the analysis.
The return results were the same each time for tens of hundreds of
repeated analyses.
The repeat results each time showed
only one or two milligram per litre of blood difference from the original.
Not satisfied, we requested a recovery analysis to be done in case the
analytical techniques were unreliable. We then used known amounts of pure
cholesterol added into the blood samples, and the recovery amount was exactly
the same as what we added.
So there was no analytical error
involved on our part. So, there are only two remaining parties left:
either the doctor's preliminary diagnosis was wrong, or the patient lied to the
doctor. In any case we did not see other investigations such as ECG to
look for ST elevation, and cardiac enzymes such as myoglobin, troponin and
creatine kinase being done by the clinicians which would have greatly
helped us with the diagnosis.
They only requested for serum
cholesterol. So, we just did that, and, in most cases, we found no
relationship between what the clinicians wrote there and our lab
findings.
I already knew by then John Yudkin
was dead right, but I could not voice this out because of the very strong
belief and mindset of the doctors who still believe cholesterol was the cause
of their patient’s heart problems because of that very influential and famous
longitudinal Framingham Heart Study that started in 1948 and is still going on
till today on cohorts that initially found cholesterol caused heart
disease.
But as the study was followed
up years later, they found there were other factors such as diabetes, stress,
high blood pressure, infection, sedentary lifestyles, obesity... etc. etc.,
that were the causative root causes of heart disease, and not just
cholesterol.
I already suspected there was no
relationship at all between ischemic heart events and cholesterol by then, but
I could not voice this out because of the very strong ingrained belief among
doctors that high blood cholesterol was the cause.
Then around 1970’s the Board of
Directors of the same Framingham Heart Study issued an official
statement that cholesterol is not the primary cause of heart disease but other
factors they later found were the causes But by then the big drug
companies have already capitalized on Framingham earlier study, and they
started to produce their various types and generations
of statin groups of anti-cholesterol drugs such
as atorvastatin fluvastatin, lovastatin, pitavastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin into
the market. The amount of these statins prescribed rose to US $88 million
in 2002 to US $ 60 billion annually due to such rampant beliefs among doctors
and the lay public who believed the same.
Unfortunately doctors hardly read
medical journals and papers published on new discoveries but they just listen
to drug salespeople who promote their products. After all the big
statins producing companies have already invested tens of US $ billion to
produce these anti-cholesterol drugs, and hence they need to continue to push
them to the doctors to get back their investments despite Framingham Heart
Study earlier retraction.
What can we do as they are so
powerful financially to overpower the medical profession and brain wash them
thoroughly with their drug of choice. We all in research and in the
pharmaceutical industry know what is going on between the drug industry and the
doctors as they work hand in gloves together.
Numerous studies following the
Framingham Heart Study also showed that many other factors such as stress,
obesity, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy food and harmful nutrition are the main
causes of cardiovascular events, and not cholesterol.
Citing just one example will
do, it was found that stress may be more important than cholesterol as the
causation of cardiovascular disease, and this is explained below in No 1:

Thank you.
The release of harmful stress
hormones such as adrenaline in the fight or flight response may be one of the
causes. When the stress “fight or flight” response episode is over,
the stress hormone adrenaline breaks down and releases cascade of extremely
damaging free radicals into the bloodstream causing extensive damage to all the
cells, tissues, organs and systems in the body including the inner intima
linings of the coronary blood vessels to the heart. This causes an
inflammatory lesion in the coronaries to block blood flow to the heart.
This has completely nothing
to do with cholesterol deposits as there are other deposits that
cause atherosclerotic plaques to be formed as well. What it
actually does is, the free radicals as an singlet oxygen radical oxidizes the
low density cholesterol in particular to make them become very sticky and gummy
allowing other deposits to adhere to the already damaged intima of the
coronaries, and this may compound to further damage
Atherosclerosis and
cholesterol:
Pure cholesterol monohydrate
is a very pale-yellow substance practically insoluble in water (less
than 0.5 mg/100 ml of water).
But it is
slightly soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol (1.29% w/w at 20
°C), methanol, dimethylformamide (DMF), chloroform, and pet ether.
When pure cholesterol powder is
touched with the fingers, it does not stick onto the fingers at all. It is neither
gummy or sticky but just powdery to feel, and it floats in water.
Hence there is no reason why it
must stick onto the inner surface of blood vessels to form a cholesterol plaque
there unless oxidized by free radicals, especially the low-density lipoprotein
cholesterol that may cause it to be gummy trapping other substances such as
fibrin (from blood clotting), dead blood cell, fatty materials, calcium, etc to
form an atherosclerotic plaque there. When plaque (fatty
deposits) clogs your arteries, that’s called atherosclerosis.
Hyo-Soo Kim of Seoul National
University and his team characterized different types of cells that play a
role in calcium accumulation in blood vessels.
They reported the novel
concept that immature, stem-cell like cells have the potential to become either
osteoblasts or osteoclasts, and that a drug can push these cells toward
becoming osteoclasts instead of osteoblasts.
Their study offers new
insights into how calcium builds up in the walls of blood vessels during
advanced stages of atherosclerosis and paves the way for long-sought
therapeutic strategies to combat this common problem. To study the cause of
calcium build-up in vessel walls, Kim and his team focused on calcifying
progenitor cells—immature cells that can turn into specialized cells capable of
either promoting or reversing calcium accumulation (osteoblasts or osteoclasts,
respectively).
They isolated these cells from the
aortas of mice and sorted them into two groups. Both groups originated from bone
marrow—spongy tissue found inside bones—and expressed a cell surface protein
called stem cell antigen-1 (Sca-1), but only one group expressed another cell
surface protein called platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha
(PDGFRα).
Moreover, both types of cells
had a tendency to turn into osteoblast-like cells and thereby promote
atherosclerotic calcium build-up. But cells expressing both Sca-1 and PDGFRα
were more committed to the osteoblastic lineage, whereas those expressing only
Sca-1 were bidirectional: they could also become
osteoclast-like cells.
The findings suggest that these
bidirectional cells could be targeted by new therapies that shift their fate
toward the osteoclastic lineage, thereby preventing calcium accumulation in
blood vessels.
Their study did not show any
cholesterol being involved in plaque formation. Hope this comment
helps answer your article and question you sent.
