Cholesterol Myths and The Healthy Heart Summit (starts next week)

July 6, 2015 By Trudy Scott 6 Comments

The Healthy Heart Summit (ONLINE and FREE) July 13-20, 2015

Dr. Steven Masley created The Healthy Heart Summit to address the great deal of misinformation that exists on lifestyle and heart disease – far too many myths are still believed.

Heart disease is the #1 cause of death for men and women. Yet, it is often addressed with stents and bypass surgeries that only treat the symptoms, not the causes. It’s time to dispel the myths and misinformation about the causes of heart disease, and learn how to give you and your family a long, healthy life together.

Here are some snippets from Dr. Masley’s interview with Jonny Bowden, known as The Nutritional Myth Buster, and author of The Great Cholesterol Myth

  • So from a pure weight loss point of view, it doesn’t matter if you eat your meat at McDonald’s or if you eat it from grass-fed Kobe beef from wherever. It probably is a wash in terms of weight loss, maybe not in terms of inflammation. But if you want the health benefits and the weight-loss benefits, then you’ve got to go to what we call smart fats, which are fats that actually support your metabolism, help balance your hormones, creates satiety, and do all the wonderful things that fats do without any of the bad things that what we call mean fat or unclean fat.
  • Smart fats would include the monounsaturated fats that we see so prevalent in the Mediterranean diet. And that would come from olive oil, macadamia nut oil, a couple of the other nut oils, oleic acid. That’s the monounsaturated fat. That’s a good fat.
  • Omega-3s, obviously, particularly the ones from fish oil, the DHA and EPA, the long-chain fatty acids have myriad of health benefits on the brain and on visual acuity and on attention and behavior and all kinds of depression (and anxiety). Those are smart fats.
  • All the recent studies have shown no harm from saturated fat. They’re neutral. For years, we’ve been villainizing them. And all the recent data would say that saturated fat from animal protein, from dairy, from these plant sources (like coconut), it’s harmless.
  • We now know that there are about 4 or 5 kinds of HDL and about 4 or 5 kinds of LDL. And they don’t all behave the same. And it’s not really 100 percent accurate to say that all HDL is good. Most of it is. But there’s a couple that may be a little inflammatory and some that are less good than others.
  • There’s a very big distinction between what’s known as LDL-A particles and LDL-B. Now, if you look at LDL-A particles under the microscope, they look like a big cotton ball. And they do just about as much damage. They’re just pretty innocuous. They’re not necessarily beneficial. But they don’t do any harm. It’s like a tennis ball thrown at you. It’s not going to do any harm. The others are like golf balls. And they’re very nasty inflamed oxidized particles. And they can cause damage. Now, the newer more modern tests (advanced lipid profile) looks at these particles.
  • Stress can cause a heart attack all by itself. We talk about voodoo death and Walter Cannon, the psychologist in the 20s who first discovered this phenomenon. You can die from fear. Your arteries are clear. But stress really can promote heart disease. It can even cause heart disease. So these are things that we don’t tend to look at nearly as much. And instead, we’re obsessively focused on this molecule of cholesterol, which is pretty harmless and very important for the brain and for the heart and for everything else in the body.

So yes, stress and anxiety play a big role in heart disease and this is the topic of my interview: Anxiety/Stress, Depression and Heart Disease

      I’m sorry about this. I’m not sure what this means and when I go to the site I don’t get this “error”. I suggest contacting the summit hosts here http://healthyheartsummit.com/contact-us/

    I love all your “Summit” talks and have been following your talks for at least six months or more. You have often mentioned LOW cholesterol as being bad for us, but you have not mentioned what causes it or how to turn it around. My grandson suffers with terrible anxiety issues (age 20) and his cholesterol is only 120. He eats plenty of red meat and chicken, almost no vegetables or fruit, but also very little junk or processed food. Can you please help me with this problem.. Thanks in advance for any info you might provide.

    I’m trying to be healthy and eat all the right foods but here such conflicting “evidence”… I just read this “The proof: when researchers looked at 26 years of dietary data, they found that women who ate 2 daily servings of red meat had a 30 percent higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease than those who ate a half serving or less daily. When you do opt for red meat, enjoy no more than 3 ounces (the size of a deck of cards), and trim the fat before cooking. For the leanest cuts of beef, look for eye of round, top round, sirloin, top loin, tenderloin, flank or chuck. P.S.: That same study suggests that swapping out one daily serving of red meat for fish, poultry or nuts may significantly lower your risk of heart disease: by 24% for fish; 19% for poultry, 30% for nuts. – See more at: http://www.lifelinescreening.com/Community/Health-Facts/Diet-and-Nutrition/Foods-That-Age-You?&utm_
    So, what do I believe? Thanks for your response……….

    I read Dr. Masley’s info on his free gift and he says that our Vit. D levels should be 40. This must be a mistake because all current guidelines from Lab Corp and Quest have higher levels listed. No one has ever gotten sick from too much Vit. D [according to our DC who follows our levels]…..and many MDs prefer a level of anywhere from 60 to 100. We do light therapy, head into the sun at solar noon our time, and follow the work of the Vitamin D Council. You can get their newsletter with all kinds of goo things in it. By the way, Dr Bowden and Dr. Sinatra Rock! With the help of Dr. Sinatra’s books, my husband did NOT get a bypass 7 years ago because of the information in his “Metabolic Solution,” which countered what our local cardio was doing [such as basing his assessment on a faulty treadmill test.

      Thanks Karin – Good catch! I suspect he is just using outdated information. Thanks for bringing to this our attention. I’ll be sure to let him know next time I hear from him

      I also love Dr Bowden and Dr. Sinatra – love your husband’s story! how wonderful!
