The belief that low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol causesatherosclerosis and subsequent heart disease is a fundamentalprecept of modern medicine. Therapies aimed at reducing serumLDL cholesterol are currently considered to be an essential elementof any attempt to prevent coronary heart disease (CHD).While it currently enjoys widespread acceptance among healthauthorities and medical practitioners, numerous lines of evidenceraise questions about the LDL hypothesis. Native LDL cholesterol isa vitally important substance and is not in any way atherogenic.Statin drugs, the only LDL-lowering agents shown to have clinicalbenefit in reducing the incidence of heart disease, have beenshown to exert their benefits via mechanisms totally unrelated toLDL cholesterol reduction.A potential causative role in atherosclerosis and heart diseasehas indeed been detected for oxidized LDL, but this form of LDLshows no correlation with serum levels of native LDL. Rather,individual antioxidant status appears to be a key factor influencingserum concentrations of oxidized LDL.

The cholesterol-lowering myth being spread by pharmaceutical companiesworldwide could rightfully be considered the deadliest health myth in the history of mankind. Numerous studies consistently show that the higher our cholesterol the longer we live and vice-versa. This reality has been hidden and pushed under the already-stuffed pharmaceutical rug.

Mainstream nutritional science has demonized dietary fat, yet 50 years and hundreds of millions of dollars of research have failed to prove that eating a low-fat diet will help you live longer.

Impaired physical performance is a common but not obligate result of a low carbohydrate diet. Lessons from traditional Inuit culture indicate that time for adaptation, optimized sodium and potassium nutriture, and constraint of protein to 15–25 % of daily energy expenditure allow unimpaired endurance performance despite nutritional ketosis.
