One day we received a call from the natural vitamin E producer that we purchased from that it was no longer possible for us to purchase sterols from them. All sterols were to be sold to a Swedish margarine company. I guess some firm in the nordic countries had begun to add sterols to their margarine. As a result, nearly over night, what had been a byproduct of natural E production and was sold for next to nothing, became worth more than natural E.

every day i meet people who show that this is simply not the case.
you get looked at as if you have two heads when you say something like
“if cholesterol is so bad for us, why do we make so much of the damn stuff?”

“I just wish I lived closer to Dr. Briffa and I would adopt him”

So funny : D

It is just a billion dollar market, with a billion reasons to maintain the scare tactics.

It is so simple; you can’t make money on those weird people that don’t need anything, that enjoy natural foods and the sun. Even shoes make you sick!

So now you are working in the marketing department of a food or health company. What can you do? Scare the hell out of them! Skin cancer! Bowel cancer! Heart disease! And smile all the way to the bank. (p.s. Vitamin D – the stuff that protects against cancer – is made from ……cholesterol! So what happens if you lower cholesterol? You lower… And you’ll get…)

Even Ancel Keys admitted in his lifetime that his study was garbage. But nobody wanted to know.

(b) I was fortunate to be passed this “on line” article today our of The National Geographic which I BELIEVE explains the health care crisis very well. If you agree, perhaps you would pass it along.

(c) I have recently been diagnosed T2DM after ten years of having blocked artery issues. I was on statins many years ago, but believed they were doing worse damage to me. I am a great believer in working ‘backwards’ to see if I can find the cause – and fix that, rather than taking prescribed medications which may, at best treat the symptoms, and at worst cause other medical problems.

I asked my cardiologist two years ago what caused inflammation – he said he had no idea so I better take the statins and let them deal with the problem! NO WAY MATE……. However since a lifestyle change incorporating eating higher fat and lower carbohydrate, my BGL are back into the ‘normal range’ I am, slowly loosing weight each week, and I will not even considering taking doctor prescribed drugs for a condition that can be handled in a very simple natural way. I just wish I lived closer to Dr. Briffa and I would adopt him 🙂

Nutritional science gave us the Twinkie, low fat eating, Snackwell treats and a long list of toxic food products. Should we be surprised that plant sterols should be any different?
