The REAL Truth About Cholesterol They Don't Want You To Know About...

people have concerns first one is cholesterol which I'm sure that you've heard of um LDL cholesterol seems to increase on a carnivore diet is that a concern for people um I don't know why it would since it's associated with longer life and and lower all cause mortality and and less cardiovascular disease and less death from infectious disease and less lower rates of death from cancer and things like that lower rates of Alzheimer's lower rates of Parkinson's lower rates of dementia and uh and the list goes on um there has never been any experimental data showing that cholesterol of any form be it total cholesterol LDL cholesterol SD LDL cholesterol Appo what have you um there's no experimental data showing a cause and effect relationship between any cholesterols and cardiovascular disease none it's never been done those Studies have been performed but they disproved or went against the cholesterol hard hypo hesis so there's never been a high level randomized control trial that showed a cause and effect relationship between cholesterol and cardiovascular disease but there have been at least five large scale randomized control trials with thousands of human subjects you know well-designed well- controlled study that have shown the opposite they've shown either no benefit from replacing animal fats with um polyon saturated vegetable oils and and margarine and things like that um lowering cholesterol and um no benefit to that from a cardias sense and um two of them show the larger better design studies actually showed that when you lowered animal fat and replaced it with with plant oils and margarin um and lowered LDL cholesterol that you actually actually more people died of heart attacks and strokes as a result so this would be things like the Minnesota coronary experiment um that had nearly 10,000 subjects in it and it was a 5 years study went from 1968 to 1973 and um this was you know our good friend anel Keys who is well known to be on the payroll for the sugar companies he was on a cover of tha Magazine having you know per you know pushed the cholesterol heart hypothesis and so he did this study you know really hoping for uh you know a win here with cholesterol and heart disease and they found the opposite and so you know like any good uh scientist that had you know good ethics and ethical ground he buried it and hid it from public and and wouldn't let it be published um four decades later long after he was dead and rotting in the ground burning in hell I hope um other people from the NIH actually found uh actually Ramson from the from the NIH actually found sort of uh evidence that this study had been done and tracked down one of the or some of the children from the other one of the other lead researchers on the study and um I said hey do you have your dad's old stuff you know I'm looking I heard this study was done I heard he did it you know and looking for some of this stuff and they actually found all the data from this study from five years of this study in the basement in their dad's old things and so that was published in I think it was the bmj the British British medical journal um I believe it was in 2014 and um so that's that's available for anybody to look up look up the Minnesota coronary experiment or the LA veterans be's Hospital study um the Sydney heart trial all of these things showed that um that the clal heart hypothesis was not correct it certainly didn't corroborate them and so the only studies that are available that show a link between cholesterol and heart disease are are epidemiological and correlative so these can only generate a hypothesis they're hypothesis generating but they cannot show cause and effect relationship um now they've started trotting out these mandalian randomized um randomized trials um but just because you use the word randomized does not mean it's a randomized control trial does not mean it's experimental trial does not mean it can show a cause and effect relationship cannot it's still epidemiological it's highly flawed and many many many top scientists um you know not including myself have done very robust critiques and the flaws of these of these study designs and and shown very clearly these cannot show a cause and effect relationship cannot you cannot show a cause and effect relationship without experimental study where you you change one variable and see what happens can't hey guys just want to take a second to thank our sponsor at carnivore bar I don't promote many products because honestly all you need to be healthy is to just eat meat for those times that you're out hiking road tripping or stuck at work and you want nutritious snack that is just just meat fat and salt if you want it the carnivore bar is a great option so I like this product not because it's just pure meat but also because I want the carnivore Market to thrive as well and the more we support meat only products the more meat only products there will be available in the mainstream so if this sounds like something you'd like to get behind check it out using my discount code Anthony to get 10% off which also applies to subscriptions giving you 25% off total all right thanks guys all right so this is still epidemiology this is still observation it's actually quite poor or um epidemiology it's not going to be very accurate and you know people can look up any any number of critiques and reviews on that Dr Zoe harkham has done uh plenty of those and actually just came up with out with another one more recently and she's she's fantastic so there are plenty of people showing that this is this is just um uh not going to show a cause effect relationship but we already have those studies we already have studies that can show a cause and effect relationship and they do not they show no cause they show no cause and effect relationship between cholesterol and cardiovascular disease and in fact some of them show an inverse relationship meaning that if you lower cholesterol and you lower Satur or cholesterol and animal fat that more people die from cardiovas disease as a as a result of that um also there was a there's a metaanalysis with 44 randomized control trials in it that actually showed that people on a high fat meat-based ketogenic diet um that actually it was the healthier um people with lower BMI that actually had higher LDL cholesterol and that as you got larger BMI it actually went down so it sort of went down sharply and sort of leveled off and then as you got in to the the extremes of obesity it actually LDL even went down further right okay so why is that these people are typically less healthy it's um you know associated with poor health outcomes and being uh obese and yet they have lower LDL okay so it's good that's everyone should get obese then I guess it's heart heart healthy well we know that's not true so the lower BMI individuals that are typically more um metabolically healthy and healthier in other ways they're the ones that had higher LDL so you have your you have your your biochemical markers improving and we see this in people on Carnivore diet and ketogenic diets they improved massively diabetes goes away away autoimmunity goes away all these other sorts of you know issues get better and better and better and better and better but everyone goes that sticking point oh my goodness LDL okay well not everybody's LDL goes up in fact people that are less healthy it goes down okay um but if all your markers and all your bio markers getting better and you've lost 200 pound 300 pounds 400 pounds you know was a lady in an Australian named Limitless Lindy that's lost 500 pounds right um documented she documented the entire way 500 pounds okay you're telling me that that her cholesterol being slightly up compared to what we consider normal and everything else being better that she needs to just go back to what she was doing before and put back on the 500 pounds because she's at such a high risk for heart disease now that doesn't make any sense like all everything is showing that she's improving her health and you're telling me that high LDL is now just it's just it's going to kill her that's what's going to kill her everything's getting better so actually that's associated with Better Health and improving health so why are we saying that that's a bad bad thing I I think that's a good thing and that's what a lot of these large population studies show is that higher cholesterol and higher LDL cholesterol actually improves Health outcomes and lowers or is associated with a lower all cost mortality rate meaning that they live longer and so that that's really all you need to know I mean this was this was a complete and utter fra fraud you know people like anel keys perpetuated this fraud for money and we know that we have hard evidence of it the journal American Medical Association one of the top medical journals in the World published the internal memos from the sugar companies back in the 60s detailing how they paid off three Harvard professors to falsify data and publish fraudulent studies to make it appear as if cholesterol caused heart disease when it was much more likely to be sugar and and certainly cigarettes and things like that um and then then they exonerated sugar and said that it was safe and then one of those professors was named head of the USDA and he was the one who authored and published the the USDA declaration in the late '70s saying that the cholesterol caused heart disease Satur in fact re cholesterol stop eating both oh my goodness um you know then you look at that so that we know that's a fraud we know that's a lie you know the Framingham study tried to suggest that that or people said that the Framingham study said that higher levels of cholesterol was associated with higher all um cardiovas disease mortality rates but in fact that was actually what the American Heart Association claimed it showed when in fact the original data showed the opposite that as you lowered total cholesterol you increased um cardiovascular disease mortality rate um then more recently the journal American College of Cardiology the top Cardiology journal in the world hey everyone really happy to announce a new sponsor for the show and for everybody down in Australia Stockman Stakes who are delivering highquality grass-fed and finished pasture raised beef and other meats flash frozen and vacuum sealed tood door something that I've been enjoying a lot of myself recently as well they also have a great range of specialty items such as high fat keto mints and carnivore beef and organs mints with liver kidneys and beef art as well so use code chaffy today for free order of beef mints or another specialty gift along with your order at Stockman steaks.com and I'll see you over there thanks guys they published an umbrella review which is the tiptop pointy bit of the Pyramid of the evidence hierarchy pyramid right you have randomized control trials high quality ones you can do crap randomized control trials but let's say you have high quality ones put those into a meta analysis if you have crappy ones you put that in meta analysis you'll get a crappy meta analysis garbage in garbage out but let's say you have high quality meta analysis uh randomized control trials do a high quality metaanalyses then over the years you get a number of other meta analys of high quality randomized control trials then you say okay let's do a met analysis of those met analyses that's called an umbrella review so it's the tippy top point of that pyramid as good as you're going to get and one of these was published in the journal American College of Cardiology in 2020 and they looked at all the best evidence available for saturated fact being being causitive or linked at all to cardiovascular disease and they found down absolutely no connection whatsoever in the highest levels of evidence between increased saturated fat consumption and cardiovascular disease in fact they found an inverse relationship between saturated fat consumption and strokes so people that ate more saturated fat had less Strokes people ate less saturated fat had more Strokes so anyway any way you want to slice it we have been absolutely lied to and misla fact just look at the the um 2015 US nutrition guidelines dietary guidelines they in 2015 they actually dropped the recommendation to limit saturated fat and cholesterol dietary cholesterol because they said there's absolutely no connection between dietary saturated fat and cholesterol and any poor health outcome including cardiovas disease so that that's already in the guidelines and people just forget that and so when you look at the you know the vegan um you know Mafia who who cherry-pick and desperately try to defend their ideology because it's indefensible so they have to lie and um and and for to character assass assassination as one of the shumpeter said that the first thing that people do to um protect their ideology is lie and Thomas Soul said and the second thing they do is character assassination so they they do one steps one two and and they invented so you know four and five three four and five as well but you know they're they're looking at this and saying that um that you know they're trying to defend their ideology on you know how this can can possibly be um but um you know it's it's really indefensible we have mountains of evidence that saturated fat does not cause a problem cholesterol does not cause a problem I mean you know again you look at that that the it's in the guidelines already by 2015 and no one really thought about it and so these people would say well look at look at the um the recommendations from the European uh Council on the subject it's just like well why don't you use the US ones you know you and you're just skipping over the fact that those got taken out they're not recommending you limit um your calories that saturated fat to 10% that got that got removed in 2015 and in fact The JCC the journal American Colley Cardiology they said explicitly like this we should not there should be no arbitrary upper limit on the consumption of saturated fat and and the authors the lead authors on that paper had previously been on the panels that recommended limits on saturated fat consumption and so this is them saying hey we got it wrong this is what the data actually shows and so they circumvent that and say oh well you know they make excuses about that that study and then they say well look at look at the the European you know recommendations well that's that's expert opinion that's literally the lowest rank of um of evidence and you're dismissing the highest rank of evidence in favor of the lowest rank of evidence and ignoring the fact that other expert opinion like the USA 2015 guidelines said yeah don't worry about dietary saturated fat and cholesterol it's it's completely a non-issue um and they're finding that they're they're massively improving the health of their microbiome um in there was um we're seeing this just just all over the place many people are publishing this you know Ken Dr kenberry has published this you know benaza has published this um Dr sha Omar has published this and um in fact Dr sha omara his microbiome was so good that the you know the president or whomever of the company that he used to test his microbiome personally called him and said you have the best microbiome our company has ever tested what the hell are you doing he's like all right I'll tell you and um benaza who's been doing a clean omnivorous car ketogenic
