IS IT REALLY CHOLESTEROL THAT BLOCK ARTERIES AS PEDDLED BY THE SYSTEM?

Let's see,

When you have hypertension or stroke or heart diseases or even when you do lipid profile a test that checks your different lipids in the body, they say cholesterol is high and therefore it's clogging your arteries cause hypertension or heart diseases. But is this really it?

Let's take a look at how this plaque known as atherosclerosis is formed. Have you understood how plaque is formed? Don't just accept and regurgitate whatever you are told without questioning.

The most villain in medical world that get blamed on hypertension and stroke is CHOLESTEROL.

They sing this so to anyone whose BP numbers go up. "Your cholesterol is high it will clog your arteries and raise BP and cause heart diseases " so they say.

But is it really cholesterol that cause atherosclerosis ( plaque in the blood vessels)?

Here is a biological truth. What cause plaque is NOT cholesterol. Why ?

First of all, Atherosclerosis is defined as the hardening and stiffening of arteries following the pile up of the sticky plaque on the endothelium (inner line of a blood artery).

The consequences of these stages inside a blood vessel led to what is known as atherosclerosis which usually happens when there is continuous exposure to chronic inflammation which lead to deposition of plaque inside the blood vessels.

The plaque hardens the blood vessel and makes it narrow , therefore, causing vasoconstriction ( to constrict and reduce its lumen or diameter) and consequently systemic vascular resistance that cause rise in blood pressure

Secondly, The plaque which get deposited in the blood vessel is NOT Cholesterol from eggs, meat and animal fats. How so?

Because a plaque in the artery is composed of ;

• 68% fibrous tissue or collagen which is a result of repair during chronic inflammation that happened because of sugar, seed oils, alcohol , smoking, oxidative stress.

• 16% lipids of which a whopping 74% of these lipids are from unsaturated fats like vegitable oils, margarine, supermarket peanut butter etc

• 8% Calcium which hardens the blood vessels even more. ( Reason I tell you to get Vitamin D3 K2 supplement is to push this calcium out of these stiffened blood vessels).

• 7% White blood cells which are part of the repair process during inflammation.

That's the plaque that cause atherosclerosis. Have you seen cholesterol anywhere in those %? No. Cholesterol get blamed because eating alot of it will heal you, drop the market of hypertensive medicine and cholesterol lowering meds and devalue the big pharma.

CHOLESTEROL DON'T CAUSE HEART DISEASES.

It’s the firefighter sent to heal the damage caused by your "heart-healthy" seed oils and hidden sugars.

When you consume linoleic acid and refined fructose, you trigger oxidative stress that turns your LDL into a toxic, jagged mess that gets trapped in your arterial walls.

It’s not the total number of cholesterol particles that matters it’s whether they’ve been oxidized by the industrial sludge you call "vegetable oil."

We’ve spent decades lowering a vital nutrient for brain health while ignoring the systemic inflammation that actually triggers the plaque.

Your brain is 60% fat, yet you’re starving it of the cholesterol it needs to function because of a debunked study from the 70s.

By cutting fat, you forced your liver to convert excess carbohydrates into VLDL particles the actual drivers of arterial plaque.

You aren't avoiding heart disease, you're inviting metabolic dysfunction and chronic systemic inflammation by ignoring the basic biochemistry of human fuel.

High-fat isn't the enemy, the industrial sludge used to replace it is what’s killing you. Why do you think chronic disease exploded the second we started following the "Low-Fat" food pyramid?

You aren't suffering from a "fat" problem, you're suffering from a chemical burn. The older you get, the more dangerous ‘low cholesterol’ becomes and they’re still pushing it.

Every major study on people over 60 shows higher cholesterol = longer life. Your body ramps it up as you age because it needs more for repair, not less.

Forcing it down is medical malpractice disguised as prevention. The data is crystal clear: low cholesterol in seniors predicts earlier death from everything except heart disease.

I exist to dismyfy medical myths that has been fed to you for long time. Refuse to be misled.
