Det tål att upprepas - hjärtsjukdom beror INTE på högt kolesterol

Enligt hjärtspecialisten Dwight Lundell beror hjärtsjukdom på att vi i åratal har fått oss itutat att vi ska äta fettsnålt - vilket i praktiken har inneburit massor med socker och kolhydrater.


Simply stated, without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that cholesterol would accumulate in the wall of the blood vessel and cause heart disease and strokes. Without inflammation, cholesterol would move freely throughout the body as nature intended. It is inflammation that causes cholesterol to become trapped.

Inflammation is not complicated — it is quite simply your body’s natural defence to a foreign invader such as a bacteria, toxin or virus. The cycle of inflammation is perfect in how it protects your body from these bacterial and viral invaders. However, if we chronically expose the body to injury by toxins or foods the human body was never designed to process,a condition occurs called chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is just as harmful as acute inflammation is beneficial.

What thoughtful person would willfully expose himself repeatedly to foods or other substances that are known to cause injury to the body?  Well,smokers perhaps, but at least they made that choice willfully.

The rest of us have simply followed the recommended mainstream dietthat is low in fat and high in polyunsaturated fats and carbohydrates, not knowing we were causing repeated injury to our blood vessels. Thisrepeated injury creates chronic inflammation leading to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity.

Let me repeat that: The injury and inflammation in our blood vessels is caused by the low fat diet recommended for years by mainstream medicine.

What are the biggest culprits of chronic inflammation? Quite simply, they are the overload of simple, highly processed carbohydrates (sugar, flourand all the products made from them) and the excess consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils like soybean, corn and sunflower that are found in many processed foods.


Vi bör istället äta naturlig mat med mycket protein, färggranna grönsaker och frukter, naturliga fetter och vi måste dra ner rejält på socker, kolhydrater och omega 6 för att minska inflammationen i kroppen som är den egentliga orsaken till sjukdom.

Bra fetter är olivolja och smör. Den farliga fettsyran omega 6 finns främst i sojabönor, majs och solrosfrön. Mättat fett från djurvärlden innehåller mindra än 20% omega 6 och är därför att föredra!

There is but one answer to quieting inflammation, and that is returning to foods closer to their natural state. To build muscle, eat more protein. Choose carbohydrates that are very complex such as colorful fruits and vegetables. Cut down on or eliminate inflammation- causing omega-6 fats like corn and soybean oil and the processed foods that are made from them.

One tablespoon of corn oil contains 7,280 mg of omega-6; soybean contains 6,940 mg. Instead, use olive oil or butter from grass-fed beef. 

Animal fats contain less than 20% omega-6 and are much less likely to cause inflammation than the supposedly healthy oils labelled polyunsaturated. Forget the “science” that has been drummed into your head for decades. The science that saturated fat alone causes heart disease is non-existent. The science that saturated fat raises blood cholesterol is also very weak. Since we now know that cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease, the concern about saturated fat is even more absurd today.

Summa summarum: Vi bör äta naturlig, oprocessad mat som innehåller rejält med protein och naturliga fetter. Vi bör dra ner rejält på kolhydrater (inklkusive socker) och omega 6.
