The evidence showing that cholesterol is related to clogged arteries is this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqKNfyUPzoU Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn (aka, the first person to demostate that heart-disease is curable) explains it in this TEDx Talk.

This is supported by Dr. Kim A. Williams President of the American College of Cardiology, and well as a study done by Dr. Dean Ornish, the doctor you've mentioned before.

There's also some 1300 studies by Dr. William C. Roberts and he concludes that cholesterol is the only major factor.



------


The evidence showing that dietary cholesterol is unrelated to blood cholesterol is........ funded by the egg board where they take people with maxed out cholesterol, and give them eggs, and the result is that their cholesterol cannot climb any higher.

If you like, dig up the studies, and I'll show you their scam :-)


But studies aside, you can literally test this yourself - eat no cholesterol for a week or two, and it will go down, and back up again when you start eating it. It's really that simple.

I live in a country where the only people commonly have guns are law enforcers.
When I see this it just seems like a sci-fi movie promo akin to those fake Tedx talks promoting Prometheus, or a fake commercial from Robocop.

It's so alien and strange to me.

Wow, her TEDx talk is almost a direct mirror of the Jon Ronson talk I linked to in the other video.

..maybe if it were a TED talk?
but, yeah in general, the quality of TED talks has plummeted. That could have something to due with all of the TEDx talks, and with people trying to emulate the 'TED style'.. which has just become annoying.

@Sniper007 Quite the road less-traveled pardner but worthy of the task you've set before yourself. Ruperts' a maverick, snake-oil tinctured with hard science, faith fueled by invisible cosmic forces and brass balls. He used to be a regular on the old Art Bell Flour Hour-

He apparently, has been asked by the TED talk's cabal short of a recant, to please, "never come back," which is here on the Videosift, what you are being presented with in the realms of "health"and.....ahem, "science" by the armchair enthusiasts who fancy themselves experts on all subjects above mundane. You are now in the company of the marginally successful Disrupticons of the site whose ulterior M.O. is that of "Ointment Fly."

I commend and salute you, noble sir!

This should have been a TEDx talk.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Perhaps the achilles heel of Ted is the lack of transparency. If TEDx decides that this is pseudo-scientific, who is TEDx? Is it one person? A board? What are the criteria? Why is there never any rebuttal allowed for presentations?

Enoch, you are right everyone has the right to their opinion. But, what is pseudoscience? That phrase in the same category as this is a slight.A negative dashing of one of the most visionary and powerful experiences a human could have. Just the fact that TEDX is not encouraging this issue after having posted this up is fact enough that whatever it is and no one knows, not even people who have actually done it, should be enough for people to unfurl their brow and know that there IS something to this. This is not a popularity contest, I know for some reason this culture has supported cynicism, it dislikes spirituality beyond our favored religions, many people do not want to know that there is for some reason a gateway into something unspeakable right under our feet. They do not want to believe. Rightfully so. I think it is terrifying as well but I also have always wanted the truth and science is doing a great job but it moves too slooooowly.

In my opinion it is not a drug. It is a state. A natural state that humankind has long forgotten through indoctrination, power and control. The doubter will receive enlightenment.
