So, in my view, the best way to avoid heart disease is to assure an abundance of an alternative supply of cholesterol sulfate. First of all, this means eating foods that are rich in both cholesterol and sulfur. Eggs are an optimal food, as they are well supplied with both of these nutrients. But secondly, this means making sure you get plenty of sun exposure to the skin. This idea flies in the face of the advice from medical experts in the United States to avoid the sun for fear of skin cancer. I believe that the excessive use of sunscreen has contributed significantly, along with excess fructose consumption, to the current epidemic in heart disease. And the natural tan that develops upon sun exposure offers far better protection from skin cancer than the chemicals in sunscreens.

An interesting statin/cholesterol article
http://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/why_ ... _work.html
Deb,
I like this author - I've read a couple of her other articles, too. I have stopped sending them to my statin-taking friends, though. One friend asked me to keep sending him articles about statins... and I told him no - I'm stopping. I proposed that *he* should reevaluate whether the research that persuaded him to take this frightening class of drugs is still valid. I offered to nag about it again when he's closer to 70.

Tex,
I bet you've already found a list of her other helping thinking, but just in case: http://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/
Very impressive and broad-ranging thinker - I aspire to (virtually) know her better.

Sara,
Well, she's a broad-ranging thinker because she's an engineer, who just happens to be interested in health issues, so she knows how to go about figuring out how things work. I hate to start reading her publications, though, because once I start, I can't stop.
Her essay on why a low fat diet and statins may cause Alzheimer's, for example, is clearly right on target. Her logic is straight forward, and indisputable, IMO.
Of course, the fact that most of her "off-topic", (that is, outside of her normal area of research), articles are based on the benefits of dietary fat and cholesterol, might have something to do with the reasons why I'm so impressed with her extracurricular work, since I've long felt the same way - that dietary fat and adequate cholesterol are absolutely vital to good health.
Thanks.
Love,
Tex

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Tex,
The risk of large chunks of 'escaped' time are great, when reading her excellent and thoughtful writing... It's really refreshingly clear - which makes me realize that a lot of other things I read aren't confusing because I'm not familiar with the technical/scientific jargon... they're confusing because they're confused.

And, IMO, not only are such authors confused, but they're hoping that by utilizing confusion as a tactic, most readers will shrug off their confusion as due to their own lack of understanding, and they will blindly accept the hype being promoted by the article. IOW, the reports are little more than advertorials masquerading as scientific articles.
