> The Cholesterol Fraud

>

> The members of the media are being used for

> perpetuation of the cholesterol

> fraud against the American people. Recently, a

> widely publicized doctored

> report by an NIH panel, most of whose members are

> now known to have had a

> direct connection to manufacturers of

> cholesterol-lowering drugs, unveiled a

> much stricter guideline for cholesterol levels for

> people at risk of a

> stroke or heart attack. Unfortunately, this report,

> and the publicity given

> it, set up the people of this country for the use of

> more totally useless

> drugs. Science reporters should know that the blood

> for measuring

> cholesterol levels is taken from a vein in the arm.

> But at no time has there

> been a record of cholesterol ever having blocked a

> vein in the body! It is

> not the stickiness of cholesterol that causes the

> blockage of healthy blood

> vessel walls! The body uses cholesterol as a kind of

> bandage to cover

> abrasions and tears in its arterial walls. It is a

> life-saver. If you want
