Can anyone please name one CLINICAL Study which shows Cholesterol causes heart d!

You are correct. I am still looking for the one undoctored clinical study.

The Framingham Heart Study is often cited as proof of the lipid hypothesis. This study began in 1948 and involved some 6,000 people from the town of Framingham, Massachusetts. Two groups were compared at five-year intervals—those who consumed little cholesterol and saturated fat and those who consumed large amounts. After 40 years, the director of this study had to admit: "In Framingham, Mass, the more saturated fat one ate, the more cholesterol one ate, the more calories one ate, the lower the person's serum cholesterol. . . we found that the people who ate the most cholesterol, ate the most saturated fat, ate the most calories, weighed the least and were the most physically active." The study did show that those who weighed more and had abnormally high blood cholesterol levels were slightly more at risk for future heart disease; but weight gain and cholesterol levels had an inverse correlation with fat and cholesterol intake in the diet.

The best thing anyone can do is eat a lower-carb, higher fat, diet with an emphasis on eating natural fats that are high in omega-3 fatty acids and saturated fats. The unsaturated fats become rancid much faster than the natural saturated fats do which cause free radicals in the body and thus inflammation. I've found that it is the natural saturated fats that are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids which keep our triglycerides in check. And they raise HDL cholesterol levels. But it is important that the animals these products come from have been "grass-fed" or "free-range" fed prior to consumption. Omega-3 fatty acids are key. Commercial farming has destroyed the natural omega-6 versus omega-3 fatty acid balance we once had prior to the 1940's. At one time it was a one-to-one ratio. The Finnish have the highest HDL cholesterol levels in the world and they also eat the most saturated fat.

The food products that are lowering our good HDL are actually sugar, high fructose corn syrup, soft drinks, refined sugary cereals, refined white flour, "hydrogenated" oils, "partially hydrogenated" oils [trans-fats], margarine, and the highly processed vegetable and seed oils. These highly refined polyunsaturated oils are deodorized rancid oils that are way too high in omega-6 fatty acids, which only serves to increase our need for omega-3 fatty acids even further. We need a one-to-one ratio. They also turn to trans-fats when heated. Omega-6 (n-6) fatty acids are inflammatory. Omega-3 (n-3) are anti-inflammatory. Grains which are fed to commercial livestock, poultry, etc. are naturally high in omega-6 fatty acids which make them more inflammatory. They should be eating their natural foods which includes green grass and vegetation. One of the healthiest oils you can cook with is (unhydrogenated) Virgin Coconut Oil which happens to be 92% saturated. It's not inflammatory and low in both omega-6 and omega-3 which reduces it's ability to become rancid. Furthermore, it doesn't increase our need for omega-3 fatty acids as the highly refined polyunsaturated oils do.

Cholesterol is much easier to control once you find the real toxins you are ingesting and eliminate those. And two of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids are organic butter from grass-fed cows and free-range or cage-free eggs. It's not just in "wild-caught" salmon as many would like us to believe. It comes in saturated fats as well as from wild caught fish, walnuts, or avocados. Anytime you have an omega-3 versus omega-6 fatty acid imbalance in the body, you will always have elevated cholesterol levels.

Cholesterol is an anti-oxidant in the body. It is the body's repair substance, manufactured in large amounts when the arteries are irritated or weak. Blaming heart disease on high serum cholesterol levels is like blaming the firemen who have come to put out a fire for starting the blaze.
