Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 - Neil Jensen Re:New cholesterol guidelines for converting healthy people into patients If cholesterol causes coronary heart disease and cancer, it should be easy to prove. Virtually all oils and fats used for culinary purposes prior to the 1920s were derived from animal sources, the major exceptions being olive, coconut and palm kernel oils, the latter two of which are also high in cholesterol. If cholesterol actually does caus CHD and cancer, medical records from the late 19th and early 20th century should show epidemic levels of of these diseases. The fact is that they were EXTREMELY RARE. With the introduction of new technology in the 1920s that allowed oil to be extracted from seeds that do not easily give up their oil (corn for example), cases of CHD and cancer levels began to accelerate, culminating in the epidemic levels of these diseases today. The process of hydrogenation was also invented about the same time. Procter & Gamble introduced their Crisco brand of hydrogenated cottonseed oil to the market in 1922. No only does historical data fail to prove the Lipid Hypothesis, it totally demolishes it! The large corporations that push the Lipid Hypothesis certainly don't let facts stand in their way when it comes to propaganda that sells their frankenoils though. Although the Framingham study which the Ravnskov article mentions also demolished it, the government and manufacturers just put their own spin on the study, claiming that it proved the hypothesis. Sounds like something out of Alice in Wanderland!
