The Lipid Hypothesis of Atherosclerosis: Why LDL Particles and Cholesterol Do Not Cause Disease

According to the medical establishment, LDL particles and cholesterol are major causes of atherosclerosis or plaque buildup in the arteries.

But is this true?

In the Lipid Hypothesis of Atherosclerosis, you will learn the opposite: There is no credible evidence that LDL particles and cholesterol are harmful.

In a comprehensive look at the data, the author illustrates the mass of evidence undermining the lipid hypothesis, including:

The beneficial functions of cholesterol and lipoproteins.

The autopsy and imaging data showing little to no association between cholesterol/LDL and atherosclerosis.

The surprising amount of human pathological evidence contradicting the idea that LDL particles trigger the disease.

The lack of evidence implicating a direct harmful effect of cholesterol deposition in the arteries.

The potential roles of modified lipoproteins and oxidative stress.

The limitations of animal models and what they really suggest.

The Lipid Hypothesis of Atherosclerosis contains a wealth of information. With almost 300 references, the author draws from a variety of sources, including giants in the field of cardiovascular pathology and beyond.

In the end, cholesterol and LDL have been convicted of crimes they did not commit, and it is time to restore their image as critical life-giving components of the human body.
