    Statins More Than Double The Risk Of Diabetes Compared To Non-users

    Yet another damning study on the toxic effects of drugs whose main effect (lowering cholesterol by blocking its synthesis) is already known to be harmful and has no evidence behind its claimed benefits. So, we can now add diabetes to the list of cancer, ALS, dementia, birth defects...

    PUFA/Statins Promote UV Damage & Skin Cancer (melanoma), Cholesterol Is Protective

    Several people asked Peat over email about the dangers of sun exposure. He responded by saying that the main danger is the lipid (PUFA) perodixation caused by the UV lights and that taking some aspirin, vitamin E, or niacinamide greatly reduces the damage. The study below confirms that PUFA may...

    Dietary Cholesterol Contained In Whole Eggs Is Not Well Absorbed

    Abstract Whole egg is a food source of dietary cholesterol and inconsistent research findings exist about the effect of dietary cholesterol from whole egg on blood cholesterol concentration. We assessed the effect of co-consuming cooked whole egg (CWE) on dietary cholesterol absorption from two...

    Eating 12 Eggs A Week Does Not Increase Risk Of Heart Disease

    This study probably won't come as surprise to forum users given what Ray has said and written about cholesterol. Without much fanfare, after more than 60 years of officially demonizing cholesterol in 2017 the FDA quietly reversed its position on recommending avoiding cholesterol. However, to...

    Lowered Cholesterol In EFAD, Good Or Bad?

    "Cholesterol synthesis appears to be substantially decreased in livers of EFA deficient rats, whether deficiency is produced by a fat-free diet or a diet which contains 30% hydrogenated coconut oil. Nevertheless, cholesterol collects in the liver, primarily as cholesterol esters..." I wonder if...

    On Pellagra

    Pellagra is fairly well understood, but there is still some persistent mythology surrounding the etiology. Everyone knows that niacin is the characteristic deficiency, but few are aware of the central importance that leucine plays in this. The somewhat low tryptophan and niacin content of corn...

    Statins May Exert Beneficial Effects Through A Pathway Other Than It's Cholesterol Lowering Action

    Was surprised when saw a study showing statins have positive effects on bones, did a bit of searching and it turned out that it has some positive action,generally, through inhibiting rho kinase, which also is protective against heart disease. Im not promoting statin use at all(for obvious...

    High HDL Levels Are Associated With High All-cause Mortality

    I posted a few studies some time ago showing that HDL is associated with CVD mortality. Good (HDL) Cholesterol Is Not So Good After All Peat has spoken many times about the false claims of the medical industry that HDL is in fact the "good" cholesterol. HDL is most commonly elevated by stress...

    What Is The Raw Material Cholesterol Is Made From?

    Please don't just say "fat" or "amino acids." Please don't just post a link to "cholesterol synthesis." Please be specific. Not dietary cholesterol. Cholesterol made by your liver. The liver makes it, but from what? Answer the question, what is the raw material cholesterol is made from? .

    HDL Composition And Its Connections To Different Disease States

    Strong Androgens (DHT) As Treatment For CVD, Obesity And Metabolic Syndrome

    The study used DHT as the active drug but since the positive effects were due to androgen receptor agonism, any other strong androgen agonist should do. I think the lack of estrogenicity also contributed to the benefits of DHT observed in this study, so this would explain the mixed results with...

    The Thyromimetic Mechanism Of Androsterone (and Other Androgens)

    As I posted in one of the androsterone threads, studies in the first half of the 20th century discovered hypocholesteremic and pyrogenic effects of androsterone and many animal models and also in humans. However, the direct mechanism for these effects of androsterone was not elucidated by these...

    Substances That Help Conversion Of Cholesterol Into Downstream Steroids And Bile Acids?

    @haidut has mentioned Androsterone (Thyroid mimetic) and Thyroid as substances that can help force 'the conversion of cholesterol into downstream steroids and bile acids'. Are there any other substances that are particularly good at doing this (as opposed to inhibiting cholesterol synthesis)?
