“In Framingham, Massachusetts, the more saturated fat one ate, the more cholesterol one ate, the more calories one ate, the lower people’s serum cholesterol…we found that the people who ate the most cholesterol, ate the most saturated fat, ate the most calories weighed the least and were the most physically active.” William Castelli, MD, Director, The Framingham Study
“The diet-heart hypothesis has been repeatedly shown to be wrong, and yet, for complicated reasons of pride, profit and prejudice, the hypothesis continues to be exploited by scientists, fund-raising enterprises, food companies and even governmental agencies. The public is being deceived by the greatest health scam of the century.” George Mann, ScD, MD, Former Co-Director The Framingham Study
“An analysis of cholesterol values…in 1,700 patients with atherosclerotic disease revealed no definite correlation between serum cholesterol levels and the nature and extent of atherosclerotic disease.” Michael DeBakery, MD, Famous Heart Surgeon
“The relevant literature [on CHD] is permeated with fraudulent material that is designed to convert negative evidence with positive evidence with respect to the lipid hypothesis. That fraud is relatively easy to detect.” Russell L. Smith, PhD
“Whatever causes coronary heart disease, it is not primarily a high intake of saturated fat.” Michael Gurr, PhD, Renowned Lipid Chemist, Author of authoritative study of CHD
Note: Although not a part of the WAPF pamphlet, this video sheds additional light on the connection (or lack thereof) between cholesterol and heart disease.
