So What is The Most Important Risk Factor for Heart Disease?

The Ratio of Triglycerides to HDL cholesterol is probably the number one risk factor for CVD.

In other words, you want high HDL cholesterol, and low triglycerides.

What Will It Take to Convince You That You Have Been Duped?

Now I have a real shocker for you!

What would you say if I told you that eating foods high in saturated fat and cholesterol is actually a proven way to prevent heart attacks and strokes?

Hard to believe?

Remember, you have been exposed to millions of dollars worth of anti-fat, anti-cholesterol propaganda over a period of decades.

So my only hope of convincing you is to pour on the REAL medical research that the drug companies and advertising firms hope you NEVER read about.

Here is another study:

Research published in no less than the Journal of the American Medical Association, 1999; 281(15):1387-94) showed that there was absolutely no connection between eating eggs and the risk of heart disease or stroke in either men or women.

Dangerous Foods

Margarine, mayonnaise, cooking oil, salad dressings, and anything made with corn oil, soy oil, safflower oil, canola oil, peanut oil, or any of the rest of the vegetable oils (except olive, coconut oil, or palm oil) will accelerate the aging process and cause damage in the blood vessel walls and in the heart.

A study in The Journal of Lipid Research, 2000;41(5):834-39), showed that eating vegetable oils in the form of either soy bean oil or margarine raised LDL (bad cholesterol) and lowered HDL (good cholesterol).

Meanwhile, eating butter (one of those “forbidden foods” saturated with cholesterol) actually lowered LDL cholesterol and raised HDL cholesterol.

People with fat phobia and cholesterol paranoia need you to turn their thinking around.

The REAL Culprit is Triglycerides

It is triglycerides (the other blood fat), that is the primary risk factor increasing your chance of having a heart attack or stroke.

25% of the population with the highest triglyceride to HDL ratio has 16 times more heart related events than the 25% whose ratios were the lowest --Circulation (October 21, 1997

Remember, as I have been saying for years, while cholesterol is not a primary risk factor for CVD, triglycerides are, and are probably the most significant.

A study published in Circulation (October 21, 1997, shows the result of Harvard research indicating that ...

And, as you have seen from countless other studies we have given you, high triglycerides come from excess starch and sugars in the diet.

So --- if it is triglycerides, not cholesterol, that is the true boogey man, what weapons are available to defeat this villainous foe?
