Are You Aware That There Is No Correlation Between Blood Cholesterol Levels And Degree Of Atherosclerosis?

Did you know this fact?

P.S. READ THE REFERENCES CK1956 and Harmony

To Ashley,Razwell, etc.

Are you familiar with the differences between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources?

Primary - the original journal article that study results are published in.

Secondary - review articles and papers based on the primary sources.

Tertiary - textbooks, treatment guidelines, etc. based on both primary and secondary sources

Ravnskov's article is a secondary source. The problem with it is that it only refers to primary sources that either agree with him or that he can partially discredit. Most of his sources are also dated.

You are taking everything that he says at face value instead of reviewing the wealth of literature available on the topic. A simple search on OVID for articles with the word cholesterol in the title will pull up 36,141 articles. Try reading up on stuff not "approved" by Colpo or Ravnskov.

Obviously not everyone has time for extensive research of primary literature for every disease they might encounter. That is where guidelines from national organizations come in. Every few years they review literature and guidelines are updated based on new research. Doctors use these guidelines as a tool to improve patient care.

That is why I keep referring you to the American Heart Association guidelines. You haven't even bothered to read them, let alone the research they are based on. Dismissing it as "propaganda" will not help you convert people to your beliefs.

To: Ashley/Razwell again
By saying that Dr Ravnskov has "personally reviewed the original articles" you are admitting that you have not. I have no doubt that he has. I just question his findings. You on the other hand haven't bothered to look and lack the education to understand medical research.

My Doctor,
who is a graduate of the Medical Facility of Death Valley University says this is all nonsense. The study was made many years ago, and subsequent studies show the opposite of what Ravnskov said. And my Doctor should know,because he hasn't done me any good, but he has been just great for my dog Max.

Harmony

Dr. Ravnskov has PERSONALLY REVIEWED THE ORGINAL PAPERS

ORGINAL PAPERS


THAT WAS THE BASIS FOR HIS BOOK

TAKE HIS REFERENCES AND FIND THE ORIGINALS


LIKE I SAID HE ALSO PROVIDES LINKS






FUTHERMORE Harmony the EVIDENCE ANTHONY COLPO PROVIDES IS THE MOST TOIGHTLY CONTROLLED

IT IS NOT B.S. epidemiological

IT IS RANDOMZIED DOUBLE BLINDED CLINICAL TRIALS

AND GUESS WHAT HARMONY

The Anti Coronary Club, The Lyon Diet Heart Study, DART and the Women's Health Intiative ARE TIGHTL;Y CONTROLLED RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIALS AND THEY SHOW NO SUPPORT TO THE LIPID HYPOTHESIS

COLPO EXPLAINS THE LYON DIET HEART STUDY







THE AHA ARE PROVEN LIARS WITH AN AGENDA

THEY PROVIDE STICKERS TO THOSE WHO DONATE ONLY THOSE WHO DONATE LARGE SUMS


THEY ALSO LIED ABOUT FRAMINGHAM

NOWHERE IN THE PAPER DOES IT SAY

"a 1 % reduction in cholesterol corresponds to a 2 % reduction in CHD risk" THIS IS A FABRICATED LIE

Ashley, etc. You missed Harmony's point. Since Colpo was not a part of the studies you criticize, his opinion is just that. And my opinion that the studies are correct is also an opinion.

BTW, you probably aren't aware that by community guidelines, but a question is posed for the purpose of actually learning something. It is a violation to post a "question" that just expresses an opinion.
