"Dr. Stephen Sinatra, Jonny Bowden Spread Cholesterol Truths On The Dr. Oz Show"

OK, this show  (Dec 3, 2012) reached millions, still some misinformation from Dr Oz, but WOW, it's a great start. Jimmy Moore's list of "key takeaway points" is impressive. Read and view show segments from this link: http://tinyurl.com/bv3bdwu

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are the key takeaway points from this episode:

• Dr. Oz described this as his "most important show" on cholesterol
• The "higher your cholesterol, the longer you'll live" message
• Blaming cholesterol on heart disease is like blaming firemen for fires
• Beef, butter and dairy are good for you because saturated fat is good
• Cholesterol-lowering drugs (like statins) "don't work" for many
• There are other causes of heart disease that have been missed
• Cholesterol does not cause heart attacks as has been believed
• Half the people with "normal cholesterol" have heart disease
• There are key bodily functions that cholesterol serves in us
• What we've been taught about cholesterol is like the flat Earth belief
• Well-meaning doctors don't have time to read the details of research
• Total cholesterol really doesn't matter at all
• The "root cause of heart disease is inflammation" and "sugar is the villain"
• Sugar is what will "gunk" up the vessels, not fat and cholesterol
• Statins are NOT safe and they are ineffective
• Statin drugs are lower cholesterol but with "tremendous side effects"
• Women and children have little need for statin drugs
• Women in 30s & 40s on statins told they will die from high cholesterol
• Less than 1% of women in Dr. Sinatra's practice are on statins
• Statins are too easy to give patients, but higher side effects
• Severely under reported side effects from taking statin drugs
• Children especially need cholesterol for proper development
• Statin drugs can lead to diabetes, cancer and more health issues
• 65% of doctors never report side effects from statin drugs
• Lowering inflammation can happen with foods, lowering stress, sunshine
• Keeping your heart healthy is not the same as lowering cholesterol
• Food can be a "potent option" for improving your heart health
• The "particle size test" promoted heavily at the end
• Not all LDL is harmful to your body
• Large, fluffy LDL can't get into the artery wall
• You want to avoid having Pattern B LDL particles
• Ask your doctor to get this particle size test
• If you have a lot of B particles, there are issues
• This is a "big change" about the role of cholesterol
• Most insurance pays for the particle size test
• If your doctor wants to give a statin, "push back"
• Don't panic when you get "high" cholesterol
• It's the sugar in your diet that's the problem
