CHOLESTEROL AND SATURATED FATS - THE MYTHS EXPOSED 
Dr Uffe Ravnskov MD PhD   -    First time in Australia
 
Physician, widely published research scientist, and author of "The Cholesterol Myths - Exposing the Fallacy that Cholesterol and Saturated Fats Cause Heart Disease ". This is a rare opportunity to hear this world authority on the misguided war on cholesterol.    (www.ravnskov.nu) 

The cholesterol hypothesis and fear of saturated fat underpins a great deal of medical and nutritional advice. However there is now a large body of studies that contradict it.  Dr Ravnskov will show that there is no evidence that high cholesterol or too much animal fat in the diet promote atherosclerosis (artery clogging) or heart attacks.
 
Evidence was presented to show that:

-Cholesterol is a molecule involved in many vital processes in the body and that interfering with its natural production can have unintended and serious consequences
-The indiscriminate, aggressive reduction of cholesterol levels is not beneficial overall and can present high health risks  which are not fully appreciated by the medical profession or the public
-High cholesterol is not a risk factor for coronary artery disease in old people or women and high cholesterol is associated with longer and healthier life.
-High fat diets in many traditional cultures are associated with good health and normal weight


Frank Cooper - author of "Cholesterol and the French Paradox".

France is a nation of 62,000,000 people who have been eating foods high in saturated fats and cholesterol for a long time, and yet they enjoy very low levels of heart disease.  Frank will explain how the French eat 3 times as much fat and cholesterol as Americans yet have 1/3 the deaths from heart attacks.(www.frankcooper.com.au)
