The idea that too much animal fat and high cholesterol are dangerous to your heart and vessels is nothing but a myth. Here are some astonishing and frightening facts

• Cholesterol is not a deadly poison, but a substance vital to the cells of all mammals.
• Your body produces three to four times more cholesterol than you eat.
• There is no evidence that too much animal fat and cholesterol in the diet promotes atherosclerosis or heart attacks.
• Drugs can effectively lower cholesterol levels, but these drugs are dangerous to your health and may shorten your life.
• Statins, do prevent cardio-vascular disease, but this is due to mechanisms other than cholesterol-lowering. Studies also show that they stimulate cancer in rodents
• Opposing views to the cholesterol myth and disagreeing results are systematically ignored or misquoted in the scientific press.
