For most of us cholesterol is a bad word.

Everyone from doctors and scientists to regulatory agencies and drug companies (and especially the media) blames cholesterol for everything bad that happens to us health-wise.

Even the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has spent many millions of dollars to keep Americans informed about the “dangers” of cholesterol, especially when it comes to heart disease.1

Normally this wouldn’t be an issue. After all, they are looking out for your health, right?

Not necessarily.

The real truth is that your cholesterol levels have nothing to do with your risk of heart disease.2-4 But still, healthcare practitioners go on pumping you full of dangerous, nutrient-depleting medication when a truly effective solution sits right on your shelf and costs just pennies a day.

You’ve been told to take it for everything from heart and brain health to supple skin and eye disorders. Heck, you even take it to ease sore joints and ease both depression and anxiety.

Posted Monday, Apr. 16th, 2012

When taking a long car trip, it’s common sense to fill up your gas tank. After all, if you don’t have enough gas in the tank, you won’t get very far.

Of course, if you have a leak in the tank and don’t know it, you’ll have to stop more frequently to refill, wasting both time and money.

On the other side, overfilling a full tank won’t do you any good either. You won’t get there faster or be able to drive longer. You’ll simply spill the gas, again wasting both time and money.

Interestingly, your body works the exact same in regards to a certain gas. Too little and you could have heart issues, hypertension, lower exercise potential, and even impaired sexual performance. But too much gas in the tank doesn’t help.

The key is knowing what this gas is and exactly how much you need to fill your tank for optimal performance.
