Re:statins heart disease and the China Study

[Guest guest]

I have read several things by docs that have said cholesterol being a danger is

a myth that was

promoted in order to sell statins  { Stop Worrying About Cholesterol! by

Richard E. Tapert, D.O.  }  

From what I understand the CRP and Triglycerides are still issues to be

concerned about.

 

- as an aside - wondering about your shaman designation...what can you tell us

about that?

Alex you wrote :

The China Study is another exercise in junk science propaganda

 

Me : This type of rhetoric is not really convincing.. Let me tell you about the

China Study :

“The China Study is an important book. With his son Tom, Colin studied the

relationship between diet and disease, and his conclusions are startling.â€

-Robert C. Richardson, Nobel Prize Winner ( a quack ?)

 

" The China Study describes a monumental survey of diet and death rates from

cancer in more than 2,400 Chinese counties and the equally monumental efforts to

explore its significance and implications for nutrition and health.†-Frank

Rhode. Ph. D President Emeritus, Cornell University "

( another quack ?)

 

What they don't want you to know Alex :

 

Another new discovery of The China Study:

 

It was found after analyzing the data collected in more than 2,400 counties in

China that the minimum level of Cholesterol in our “Western Country†was

equivalent to the maximum level in China.

 

A comparison of average Cholesterol level: China versus the US:

 

Average in the US 215 mg/dL

Average in China 127 mg/dL

 

Another crumbling Myth about Cholesterol:

 

That any level lower than 150 will be a health problem.

In fact 300 mg/ dL was considered normal few years ago.

 

In rural China 85 % of the population are below the average of 150mg/dL

To a minimum of 70 mg/dL

 

“As the level of Cholesterol was decreasing from 170mg/dL to 90mg/dL:

Cancer rates were also decreasing!!â€

China Study T. Colin Campbell PHD p 78

 

Cholesterol and Coronary Heart Disease

 

During a three year observation in the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan

and Guizhou.

There was NOT a single person who died of Coronary Heart Disease before the age

of sixty four.

 

Survey of 246,000 men in a Guizhou county

Survey of 181,000 women in a Sichuan county

 

This was confirmed by three prominent US heart disease researchers and

physicians, Dr Bill Castelli, Bill Roberts and Caldwell Esselstyn Jr. “That in

their long career they never had seen a heart disease fatality among their

patient who had blood Cholesterol levels below 150mg/dL.â€

 

“Americans consume 135 pounds of fat per year, one ton for every 15 years, and

4 tons of fats and oils have been consumed by age 60â€

 

“90% of heart attacks could be prevented if the population’s cholesterol was

150 mg/dL or less.â€

Alex with all the due respect we can continue this debate, but only one subject

at the time. Next we could debate on coconut oil and cancer or the relation

betwen an high cholesterol diet on cancer, heart disease, arthritis, diabete,

MS, osteoporosis. You pick and choose: one subject at the time.. It is good to

disagree because each one of us can learn something.
