proof that lowering cholesterol does not lower the risk of heart disease



***
 Available evidence from randomized controlled trials shows that replacement of saturated fat in the diet with linoleic acid effectively lowers serum cholesterol but does not support the hypothesis that this translates to a lower risk of death from coronary heart disease or all causes. Findings from the Minnesota Coronary Experiment add to growing evidence that incomplete publication has contributed to overestimation of the benefits of replacing saturated fat with vegetable oils rich in linoleic acid.

They fail to mention that were MORE deaths among those whose cholesterol was lowered. There are no health benefits from increased seed oil consumption.

What differentiates the Tukisenta, Maasai, and Tokelauans from modern Western populations is their lack of processed foods, refined sugars, and seed oils

Blue zone diets are free of such things too.

It seems the main things to avoid are tobacco, alcohol, sugar, and seed oils. All of those things are multibillion-dollar industries. I should add that medicine is also a multibillion-dollar industry (worth about $24 billion per year)
