Arterial Plaque vs. Elevated Blood Cholesteroland Increased Heart Attack Risk; Dangers of Statin Drugs Part I

by Dr. Bruce Berkowsky | Aug 8, 2025 | SPE NHSS Members

This article by Dr. Berkowsky challenges the long-held belief that elevated cholesterol causes heart disease. It refutes the idea of “bad” cholesterol, highlighting its essential roles in producing hormones, vitamin D, and maintaining cell and brain health. High cholesterol may instead be a symptom of other issues, such as liver or thyroid problems.

Also learn about statin drugs, commonly prescribed to lower cholesterol, for their serious side effects. These include depleting CoQ10 (vital for heart and muscle function), causing muscle pain, nerve damage, and potentially increasing cancer risk.

A recent study is cited, suggesting that existing arterial plaque, not cholesterol levels, is the primary predictor of future buildup and heart attack risk.
