Dr. Jack Wolfson, Cardiologist: "The higher your Cholesterol, the longer you live... if you have low Cholesterol, be very afraid."
"The worry over total Cholesterol & heart attack risk is a fallacy from the 60s & 70s."
"Do not fear total Cholesterol, in fact for people older than 60, the higher the total Cholesterol, the longer they live."
The Research Is Clear. The Higher Your LDL, The Longer You Live.
LDL serves an important & vital purpose for vibrant health. LDL contains the antioxidants Vitamin E, CoQ10 & Carotenoids that kill off free radicals. This reduces inflammation & oxidative damage, which are the true causes of cardiovascular disease.
LDL is a transport carrier molecule, is preventive of disease & crucial for our immune system. It is the carrier for all fat soluble vitamins A, D, E & K.
