Is LDL cholesterol really bad for health? Far from it.

#2 An open letter to all doctors and public
By Dr. V. Hariharan, MBBS, MD (Biochemistry), Coimbatore
.
We have been taught that LDL cholesterol causes heart disease and so it is named BAD
cholesterol. NO. It is not so. Even the world famous (accepted by all cardiologists in the world)
Framingham heart study said that they have found no relation between dietary intake of
cholesterol (like egg yolks) and atheroclerosis leading to heart disease. Yes THE Framingham
heart study.
I will ask you a logical question. If LDL is so bad, why it is produced in the body? Can you name
some substances which are toxic but are not detoxified and excreted through urine and feces? So
when LDL becomes high, why it is not excreted? It's not toxic, that's why.
Let me quote from few International studies which you can't refute on.
1. There was no association at all found between LDL-C levels and Coronary artery calcium
scores (Indicator for heart attack) in this octogenarian population. It says that increased LDL
levels are not a cause for heart disease. Remember we have been taught LDL is bad and to

reduce them we have to give statins

2. Higher levels of so called LDL cholesterol is associated with reduced risk of heart disease.
That is when LDL levels are high, your chances of getting heart attack is low (Mindblowing
right?). They also state that Low levels of LDL and Total cholesterol are riskfactors for coronary
atherosclerosis (Heart attack).
3. Higher levels of total cholesterol protected the heart.
Remember-Statins were lobbied heavily. We were fooled in to trust them. When statins were
discovered, the initial studies in rats showed that, on administering statins, the cholesterol levels
improved but the rats died soon. In control group (Where statins were not given), the higher level
of cholesterol prolonged their life. The investigators recommended that statins should not be
used for humans, since cholesterol levels are not related to heart disease. But FDA approved it
because some sensational idiot told cholesterol is bad for health. Go and check internet on the
fraud of Statin lobbying. By declaring this i am now in danger of the lobbies too. Let's stand unite
against these mafias. STOP STATINS NOW. Share this post until every doctor in nook and corner
of India gets this message. Let's save people's lives.
