Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won’t Prevent Heart Disease
This is the dirty little secret that the pharmaceutical statin manufacturers don’t want you to know. If you do not have heart disease, statin drugs are of no benefit, and they come with a huge risk of side effects. It has been said that statin drugs can actually increase your risk because of their adverse effects on CoQ10 levels. Remember that statin drugs exert their effect on cholesterol by interfering with liver function. This is not a good thing. Statin drugs have only been proven to be beneficial in men who have had previous heart attacks. I know that may be hard to believe but that’s what the studies reveal.
Dr. Sinatra’s book The Great Cholesterol Myth provides the foundation for you to positively and proactively support your heart. Drugs do not help your heart become healthier. Nutrition and lifestyle are the keys to healthy cardiovascular function. You should also consider Dr. Sinatra’s previous book Metabolic Cardiology. Together, these books will change your life. If you want to understand your heart and your risk for heart disease, these books are among the best resources I know.

Dr. Sinatra does not monitor this site. If you want one supplement that will lower your cholesterol, consider Nature’s Plus Extended Release One Per Day Red Yeast Rice. Then listen carefully to his interview and book The Great Cholesterol Myth and for cardiac health listen to his interview on Metabolic Cardiology. Heart issues are much more that cholesterol levels, in fact cholesterol is now understood not to be the main cause of heart disease.
I LOVE, LOVE listening to all you capture from your guests and just YOU and how great you are as a host!!!
thanks for giving us all this to learn from
