Heart Surgeon Speaks Out On What Really Causes Heart Disease -- Health & Wellness -- Sott.net

This is an excellent article on the pitfalls of our culture's diet as a whole. It is also a describes the REAL cause of heart disease.  Hint... it's a diet high in processed foods.  Please have a look.  It's eye-opening.

It also validates my decision to NOT take statins.  

Even the FDA is warning us about statins now.

Remember when I refused to start taking statins to lower my cholesterol?  Well, the almighty FDA has even issued a statement about the pitfalls of taking them.

My suggestion for everyone? Don't take them.  They'll f you up.  Just sayin'... Don't buy into the medical/pharmaceutical hype that this stuff is safe.  It's not. 

I'm still not taking statins and don't intend to start.  I haven't been very good about my paleo/primal diet, but I intend to get back on that bandwagon posthaste to help with my cholesterol levels.
