They have mixed Plant Stanol Esters into a spread or other delivery method to prevent the bowel from reabsorbing the cholesterol so it is properly excreted through the faeces. Although effective having a cholesterol level of 1 is far too low and I find it interesting that the doctor was not open to the idea of removing the statin medicationDr Peter Dinglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946255145154217970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309603339181535548.post-73570777871135484842010-09-13T22:04:48.101-07:002010-09-13T22:04:48.101-07:00have been reading with interest all your

The interesting thi...You're on the right track<br /><br />The interesting thing is that cholesterol has nothing to do with <br />heart attacks and stroke. I cant tell you not to go on statins but <br />the research overwhelmingly shows lowering cholesterol does not save <br />lives. The drugs will lower cholesterol but they wont lower your risk <br />at all. See the two new studies i just put up. This is the same for <br />margarines that are supposed to lower cholesterol. What a toxic food. <br />It may lower your cholesterol but it does not reduce your risk of <br />heart attack or stroke. But a lot of people do make a lot of money <br />out of it.<br /><br />Unfortunately many doctors are educated by the drug company <br />information. I spend a whole chapter on this in my next book. this is <br />not good science.<br /><br />You will find my book in a few months explains all this and more and <br />you will be able to give it to your doctor. If they don't read it <br />then get another doctor who is open to the truth.<br /><br />Cholestrol drugs are already on the way out I just want to speed it <br />up because they are costly and dangerous. It is really time for an <br />open public debate on this topic.<br /><br />The Paleo diet is great. That's where we have come from. I cant find <br />any problem with coconut oil. i use it regularly.Dr Peter Dinglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946255145154217970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309603339181535548.post-51587404660104450352010-09-09T02:14:03.544-07:002010-09-09T02:14:03.544-07:00Hi peter

I am a keen follower of Okinawan diet, but I am also careful not to forget our Paleo past. The mind boggles...<br />what do u think of coconut oil?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
