Summary: Dr. Uffe Ravnskov is my featured guest of today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast Show. During the recent decades, cholesterol has become a household name. Everyone is talking about how much his cholesterol is, how much his bad cholesterols are, and how much his good cholesterols are. Everyone is worried about his risk of atherosclerosis, which affects all arteries including those of the heart, neck, brain, aorta, and others. Most of them understands that atherosclerosis is a disease with cholesterol deposit on the vascular wall. With that understanding, they want to make sure their cholesterol numbers are lower. Otherwise, their physicians would definitely go after them for prescribing with Statins. But, wait. Is it true that you have a high cholesterol number means you are having a high risk of cardiovascular diseases? I know you would like to know the answer, and want to have it now! Dr. Ravnskov is an internist specialized in kidney disease (nephrology), and a vast knowledge in cholesterol and its related issues. Of course, he is the best person, from whom you would want to learn the answer to you question. What are we waiting for?
