1. Most people who die of heart disease have low or average blood cholesterol. (Ancel Keys ignored this key finding from the Framingham Heart Study, conducted by Boston University for the National Institutes of Health.)  

2. Lowering your cholesterol below 200 will not protect you from a heart attack. (According to the American Heart Association Journal Circulation, the all cause death rate increases when total cholesterol falls below 180 mg/dl. Low cholesterol is strongly associated with death from accidents, cancer and even suicide.)  

3. Eggs and butter do not raise blood cholesterol. (In retirement, Ancel Keys, “Father of the Low Fat Diet,” confessed that  “Dietary cholesterol doesn’t raise blood cholesterol and we’ve known that all along.”) 

4. Easily absorbed carbohydrates such as sugar, flour, commercial bakery products, soft drinks, and chips and snacks — not cholesterol— cause heart disease. (The common denominator of obesity, diabetes, and coronary heart disease is elevated blood sugar and high insulin levels – prompted by excess easily absorbed carbohydrates in the standard American diet.) 

5. Low fat diets increase the risk of obesity and diabetes. (During the low fat era (1980-2009), the incidence of obesity and diabetes in all age groups has doubled. During “low fat,” the consumption of grains and high fructose corn syrup increased sharply while our consumption of animal fats and cholesterol declined.)  

6. Excess highly processed vegetable oils and trans fatty acids in margarine and vegetable shortening increase the risk of cancer and heart disease. (In the Nurses Health Study, conducted by Harvard University, the nurses who consumed the most vegetable oil had the highest risk of both cancer and heart disease.)  

7. Strenuous exercise may increase your risk of a heart attack. (The number one cause of death among marathon runners is coronary heart disease. Excess strenuous exercise can be deadly. Moderate daily exercise and social activity – not extreme or strenuous exercise – are associated with optimum heart heart and longevity.)
