"In a nutshell, the numbers set as “high” cholesterol levels were arbitrary.

[1] Statins are particularly useless for women and side effects for women are more dangerous.

There is still no solid science proving that high cholesterol causes heart disease.

[2] Diet has little, if any, influence on cholesterol levels.

Statin drugs have deadly serious side effects.

Cholesterol is crucial to optimal health and plays a role in virtually every cell in our body.

Statins interfere with and stop cholesterol production, a vital bodily function.

[3] Lowering cholesterol with statin drugs has virtually no beneficial effect on whether you get heart disease or not.

• “Cholesterol in food has no impact on cholesterol in the blood and we’ve known that all along.” -Ancel Keys, Ph.D., Physiologist and founder of the cholesterol-heart disease hypothesis


• “A body of scientific studies shows only a weak relationship between the amount of cholesterol a person consumes and his or her blood cholesterol levels.” [2] -The Harvard School of Public Health


• “Existing epidemiological data have clearly demonstrated that dietary cholesterol is not correlated with increased risk for Coronary Heart Disease.” -Maria Luz Fernandez, Ph.D. in Nutritional Sciences


“Eating cholesterol has very little impact on the cholesterol levels in your body. This is a fact, not my opinion. Anyone who tells you different is, at best, ignorant of this topic.” -Peter Attia, M.D., President and Co-founder of Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI)

[3] Scientific review of 14 studies shows that statins are virtually useless for primary prevention [of heart disease]. The study was a meta-analysis of scientific literature on primary prevention using statins. A team of UK researchers analyzed data from 14 earlier studies that involved more than 34,000 people. The meta-analysis was published by The Cochrane Collaboration, one of the most respected scientific reviews in the world.

Ethanol Useless: The headline from Forbes Magazine says it all: “It's Final — Corn Ethanol Is Of No Use” Ethanol is a scam to bilk taxpayers (you and me) out of our hard-earned money to subsidize Big Ag with pork-belly mandates and an inferior product, all the while wearing the sheep’s clothing of “green.” Plus, UN-L Research condemns corn ethanol as causing more environmental damage than fossil fuels.
