You are NOT reading what I wrote. You are not attending to details. I asked for ONE study that proved that eating high cholesterol foods, like eggs and liver, RAISES your cholesterol. YOU GAVE ME NOTHING THAT PROVED THAT .... you just gave me dozens of "cholesterol" studies.
YES Echo and MM ... if you eat the typical American diet, YOU may well need Lipitor or other statin drugs ...... to stay alive ... I never disputed that. If you eat the typical American diet, you will eventually need a great deal of conventional medical care. Bring on the drugs.
But, if you only attempt to understand what I'm saying ... instead of jumping to defend yourself ... you would realize that there is a dietary approach that, if understood, completely eliminates the NEED for any cholesterol lowering drugs. The head of Harvard School of Public Health, Dr. Walter Willett (MD PhD) would back me up on this, so would 72 year old University of Toronto Nutrition professor, Dr. Barry Bruce, so would 53 year Diabetes survivor / and diabetes specialist, Dr. Richard K. Bernstein ... along with several other people who know far more about this topic than you. Sure, many people will not follow it ... but, they have the right to know that it exists. There is a drug free way to live a long and vibrant life.
Read my post under "consider the possibility that there IS a way to prevent cancer (error in other post - said "cure") ... just open your mind to the POSSIBILITY that there are dietary principles that you know nothing about. Because, I AM absolutely certain you know nothing about what I'm referring to.
Thinking that you might be open to possibilities seems to be a waste of my time. So, that's it for me.
Good luck.
