PAUL ROSCH, MD, is a clinical professor of medicine and psychiatry at New York Medical College.
Professor Rosch reviewed the evidence on cholesterol and heart disease.
He found:
(a) The belief that coronary atherosclerosis is due to high cholesterol from increased saturated fat intake originated from experiments in herbivorous animals. It was reinforced by reports
allegedly demonstrating this sequence of events in various populations but ignoring contradictory data.
(b) The idea has been perpetuated by powerful forces using similar tactics to preserve the profit and the reputations of those who promote this doctrine.
(c) Opponents find it difficult to publish their scientifically supported opinions.
(d) The advent of statins has further fuelled this fallacious lipid hypothesis, despite compelling evidence that their effect is not due to cholesterol lowering and that serious side effects have been suppressed and alleged benefits have been hyped.
Professor Rosch concludes that The adverse effects of the cholesterol campaign on health, quality of life, the economy and medical research are inestimable
. It is imperative that public health officials, physicians and patients are apprised of proof that it is misguided, malicious and malignant.
