Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Hi John; The answer to the central question of fat intake is that cholesterol does not cause atherosclerosis or heart disease. As many people who have normal cholesterol as whose cholesterol is high die of heart disease. The real risk marker is the degree of oxidation, not cholesterol itself. Only two labs in the USA do those tests. To reduce oxidation, avoid free radical bearing oils, the polyunsaturates and saturates, and take foods and even supplements containing antioxidants. Dr. Matthias Rath, former partner of the late Linus Pauling, now has TWO retail formulae that correct borderline scurvy and claim to " cure heart disease " . They are based on vitamin C and amino acids, similar to the approach I've been using for years. The difference is that I prefer to increase the body's main and essential antioxidant glutathione, which recycles the other, nonessential antioxidants in the body as well as performing duties they can not. And I suggest an antioxidant program rather than just vitamin C because all of the antioxidants work together. The amino acids rebuild fresh and resilient tissues including artery walls, in a good bid for rejuvenation.
