The fundamental principle upon which much of pharmaceutical medicine and mainstream dietary advice is based, that
high LDL cholesterol causes heart disease, has taken a beating in recent years. While the research literature has been
questioning the hypothesis for years, current practice has not yet caught up, and the measurement and pharmaceutical
lowering of cholesterol are the primary activities conducted in the name of management of cardiovascular risk in
doctor’s offices around the country.
Public awareness of the flaws in the lipid hypothesis have been increasing, due to various popular media and personalities examining the issue in television, internet and print media. Accompanying this is a popular trend for dietary change which flies in the face of the heavily grain-weighted dietary pyramid, instead embracing saturated fat-containing, ‘paleolithic’-friendly foods.
However, despite the impassioned opinions of many on the subject, the issue as to whether LDL is a concern in CVD is more complex than a simple yes or no. Would you like to know more??
