Why lowering LDL cholesterol may be dangerous

I wonder how many elderly people made a New Year’s resolution to lower their cholesterol?

I’m sure there were many. And I hope they’ve already thrown in the towel and given up.

Here’s why…

Recently, I was searching Dr. William Campbell Douglass’ website and came across a surprising cholesterol study from the Journal of the American Geriatric Association.

Dietary and health records for more than 3,100 subjects were followed for about 12 years. Results showed that in men and women over the age of 65, fatal heart failure risk DECREASES as LDL cholesterol levels rise.

Dr. Douglass: “I’ve only been saying this for 30 years or so.

“My advice on this topic is the same as it’s always been: Unless your cholesterol’s OVER 300 or more, ignore it.”

If you’ve never visited The Douglass Report, do yourself a favor and check it out.

On The Douglass Report website you’ll find a searchable database containing Dr. Douglass’ Daily Dose e-letters going back to 2002, details about his monthly newsletter – The Douglass Report – and other features that will help you see through the lies the medical mainstream tries to blind us with.

I can’t say Dr. Douglass and I always see eye to eye, but I think you’ll agree that his commentary is unlike anything else out there.

To Your Good Health,

Jenny Thompson
