summary: "Cholesterol levels and their relationship to heart disease and brain health are discussed, arguing that high cholesterol is not harmful and that cholesterol-lowering medications cause serious side effects like Alzheimer's and dementia. The Framingham Heart Study is cited as evidence that high cholesterol does not cause heart disease, and the speaker suggests that depriving the brain of fat through medication and diet is detrimental to cognitive function."

[00:00] forty years ago a cholesterol level of 300 was perfectly fine. I'd like to suggest to you it's perfectly fine today. And what are we told? You can't go above 190. Is that right? And if you go above 190, what are you told? You've got to go on cholesterol lowering medication. Are you ready for the side effects of cholesterol or medication? Alzheimer's, dementia, muscle wasting, memory loss, and they've just added another one, breast, because our sex hormones are made from cholesterol. The Framingham Heart Study, it was a study that was put together to prove that cholesterol causes heart disease. It's 40 years later and it still hasn't proved it. But you know what it did show? People with high cholesterol levels don't get Alzheimer's. Why don't they get Alzheimer's? Because the fattiest organ in the body is the brain, and it loves fat as fuel. Depriving the brain of fat is a disaster. If someone's on a fat-free diet, on cholesterol lowering medication, got a mouthful of mercury fillings, because mercury damages this myelin sheath, and they're eating fish every day. Can you see that's a recipe for brain destruction? If you are on cholesterol lowering medication, you can stop immediately. There will be a side effect. Your memory will return. Don't just believe what I say. Search it out.
