Leading US cardiologist, Dr Stephen Sinatra, says that the focus on cholesterol as a cause of cardiovascular disease is the biggest myth in medicine today…
“Like most people, you’ve probably been trained to think of cholesterol as bad.

It’s a natural waxy substance produced by your liver and ingested from foods you eat. Your body uses it for cell membranes, hormone production, and for converting vitamin D into a form your body can use. It is a vital part of these functions — you need it.”
