Did you know about the positive role of
cholesterol in the body? and that we can
debunk common myths about cholesterol?
myth: cholesterol causes alzheimer's
disease | part i: debunking the myth
describes how a growing myth that
alzheimer's is caused by high cholesterol
has no basis in scientific research at
all. Websites are even advocating a
"brain-healthy" diet as one low in fat and
cholesterol, even though cholesterol is an
essential nutrient to the brain, and is
absolutely necessary for the formation of
memories. Researchers are applauding
their ability to lower normal
cholesterol levels in the brains of
alzheimer's patients by twenty
percent, without having studied the
cognitive effects! This in-depth article
thoroughly debunks the
cholesterol-alzheimer's myth.
myth: cholesterol causes alzheimer's
disease | part ii: the real causes of
alzheimer's describes causes of
alzheimer's that actually are grounded in
a lot of research. Dha is an omega-3
fatty acid found in cod liver oil, fatty
fish, and egg yolks from pasture-fed
chickens, and a deficiency in this
nutrient can cause alzheimer's, verified
by both human and animal evidence of
various sorts. Insulin resistance, which
can be caused by a diet excessively high
in carbohydrates, by constant snacking, or
overeating, contributes to alzheimer's.
Metal toxicity, glutamate toxicity
(possibly from msg) and becoming mentally
inactive may also play roles, but more
research needs to be done. Coconut oil
may be protective, and a very high-fat
ketogenic diet probably has therapeutic
value, as it has proven to have for
epilepsy since it was first used at the
famous mayo clinic for that purpose in the
1920s.
the incredible, edible egg yolk this
article shows why egg yolks are a true
super-food, and why whites are
comparatively worthless. A true "health
freak" would throw away the whites, not
the yolks.
what t. Colin campbell won't tell you
about the china study Dr. T. Colin
campbell release his book _the china
study_ this year, which advocates a vegan
diet and claims that any food with
any cholesterol at all is unsafe to
eat. This review goes back to the
original monograph of the china study,
over which Dr. Campbell presided, to
prove that he's distorting statistics.
I hope some of you find some of these
articles useful!
