Stop Blaming Cholesterol for Heart Disease

For decades, doctors blamed high LDL for heart disease. But here’s the truth: high cholesterol doesn’t cause heart disease—chronic inflammation does.

A deep dive into the real cause of heart disease 👇

1️⃣ What actually causes heart disease?

👉 Inflammation from seed oils, processed carbs, and chronic stress

👉 Oxidized LDL (from inflammation, NOT LDL itself)

👉 High triglycerides from excess sugar intake

2️⃣ LDL isn’t the villain—it’s a transport system.

LDL delivers cholesterol to cells for hormone production, cell repair, and immune function. Calling it “bad cholesterol” is a huge oversimplification.

3️⃣ What about statins?

Statins lower LDL, but at what cost?

❌ Increased risk of diabetes

❌ Reduced testosterone & estrogen

❌ Higher risk of cognitive decline

4️⃣ How do we actually prevent heart disease?

✔️ Reduce inflammation (ditch seed oils & sugar)

✔️ Lower triglycerides (eat whole, unprocessed foods)

✔️ Optimize your metabolic health

5️⃣ The bottom line:

👉 Cholesterol is essential

👉 High triglycerides & inflammation are the real dangers

👉 Focus on health, not cholesterol numbers

Stop fearing cholesterol and start fixing the real problem.
