Episode 25:24 Does High Cholesterol REALLY Cause Heart Disease???

For years we’ve been told that high levels of cholesterol increase our risk of developing heart disease.

We’ve also been told that lowering high cholesterol levels, primarily through the use of statin drugs, decrease our risk.

In both cases, what we’ve been told is wrong.

The truth is much different.

You see, while taking statin drugs WILL lower our cholesterol levels, they will NOT lower our risk of developing heart disease.

So, why have we been lied to?

More importantly… what’s the truth?

That is, what DOES increase our risk of developing heart disease and WHY have we been lied to about the “cholesterol - heart disease connection?”

On this week’s episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast, I answer these questions.

Be sure to give it a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend.

Thanks!
