The War on Meat
“Our Entire War On Saturated Fat, Which Has Dominated The Healthcare Advice That We Get From Our Doctors, Has Been Wrong.”
Nicole Shanahan In Fact, The Higher Your Cholesterol, The Longer You Live. There Is Zero Correlation That Saturated Fat & Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease. Researchers have analyzed Ancel Keys data, using all 22 original countries, the “supposed’ link between saturated fat & heart disease totally VANISHED. Ancel Keys was a liar & a fraud.
Ancel Keys “7 countries study” that made it look like heart disease was associated with fat intake was deceptive & false. He started with 22 countries & just tossed out the ones that didn’t fit his hypothesis! One of the most harmful things that has come from Keys’ studies was what the food industry/large health organizations did with this information & how they utilized it to sell more processed foods. In 1961, Ancel Keys landed a position on the nutrition committee for the American Heart Association. That same year, the AHA advised Americans to replace the saturated fats in their diets with polyunsaturated fats. This prompted Americans to start utilizing PUFAs found in highly processed hydrogenated oils (i.e. corn, canola, soybean, etc.) instead of animal fats such as tallow, butter & ghee.
Those guidelines, which were supposed to eradicate cardiovascular disease, only added fuel to the fire as chronic disease skyrocketed.
Keys also determined to test his hypothesis in the Minnesota Coronary Experiment which failed miserably & the results of the study were buried until 2016. The MCE was a double blind controlled clinical trial in 6 Minnesota mental hospitals. Replacing butter with corn oil lowered cholesterol as predicted, but it raised cardiovascular disease & death. Ancel Keys knew in 1989 that he was not only not correct, he was also precisely wrong.
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute funded that study. It’s worth speculating how much expensive bad advice they continued to give in the 27 years from the study’s conclusion in 1989, until the exposition of the study’s actual results by Chris Ramsden in 2016.
Industrialized toxic seed oils added onto a high sugar, processed carbohydrate, chemical filled diet has caused 93% of Americans to be metabolically unhealthy.

Dr. James Salisbury, 1860s Civil War physician.
Union soldiers were dying. Not from bullets. From dysentery, scurvy, and typhoid.
The military diet: Hardtack, beans, coffee. Minimal meat due to cost.
Salisbury observed: Soldiers with access to beef recovered faster from everything. Wounds healed quicker. Infections cleared. Energy returned. He started prescribing pure beef. Three times daily. Nothing else. The results were so dramatic that officers started requisitioning beef specifically for sick soldiers. Salisbury published his findings in 1888: “The Relation of Alimentation and Disease.”
His conclusion: Most chronic diseases stem from improper fermentation in the digestive system caused by eating starches and vegetables. His prescription: Minced beef, three times daily, with hot water. For weeks or months depending on severity.
He documented successful treatment of: – Tuberculosis – Rheumatism – Mental disorders – Digestive diseases – Obesity – Gout His work was hugely influential. Salisbury steak was named after him.
Originally it wasn’t a convenience food. It was medicine.
By 1920s: Pharmaceutical companies began developing antibiotics and drugs for the same conditions.
By 1950s: Salisbury’s work is ignored, mocked, or forgotten.
Today: “Salisbury steak” is a processed meat patty with gravy served in school cafeterias. The medical application has been completely erased from history. A physician who cured chronic diseases with beef was memory-holed because his cure couldn’t be patented.
The pharmaceutical industry didn’t just compete with his methods.
They erased them from medical history entirely.
Dr. Blake Donaldson, 1920s-1960s, New York physician.
His protocol for ALL chronic disease patients: “Eat a pound of fatty meat per day. Nothing else.”
One of the carnivore OGs.
Success rate treating:
• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• Digestive disorders
• Mental illness
He practiced for 40+ years using only dietary intervention.
Thousands of patients. Extensive documentation. Published his findings in “Strong Medicine” (1962).
Medical establishment response: Ignored him completely. No medical school invited him to lecture. No hospital adopted his protocols. No follow-up studies conducted.
He successfully cured chronic diseases with diet for 40 years and the medical establishment pretended he didn’t exist. Why? Because he threatened pharmaceutical revenue.
His book is out of print. His clinical records are in archives, unused. A physician who cured thousands was memory-holed because his cure couldn’t be patented.
People Today Have Too Little Cholesterol…Levels In The 100s & 200s Are Too Low.
— Dr Calvin Ng
“Cholesterol In The 300s Allows You To Thrive.”
“Cholesterol Is Protective For The Body & Has Never Been The Cause Of Heart Disease.”
“Atherosclerosis Is Caused By Inflammation.”
What’s causing Cardiovascular Disease is damage to the Glycocalyx. The Glycocalyx is a gel like protective covering on vascular endothelial cells. It’s this barrier that becomes damaged & cholesterol rushes to repair the inflammatory damage. Much like a firefighter rushes to put out a blaze. Demonizing cholesterol is like blaming the firefighters for the fire. Any source of oxidative stress within our blood vessels can damage the lining of our arteries & damage the Glycocalyx. Atherosclerosis & Glycocalyx Damage Is Caused By: Industrial Seed Oils High Fructose Corn Syrup Excess Sugar Carbohydrates Insulin Resistance Ultra Processed Foods Smoking Commercial Cigarettes Obesity Environmental Toxins Poor Sleep Low Vitamin D Levels Magnesium Deficiency K2 Deficiency Lack of Exercise Stress
Healthy Cholesterol Is Needed For A Thriving Life:
• Protects against chemicals, toxins & heavy metals.
• Prevents dementia & cognitive decline.
• Protects against all cause mortality.
• Production of all steroid hormones.
• Bone density & Osteoporosis prevention.
• Protective against stroke & heart disease.
• Important for lungs & airways.
• Building block of all cells & mitochondria.
• Absorption of Vitamins A, D, E & K.
• Critical for digestion & bile acids.
• Immune system protection against infections.
• Protection against bacteria, pathogens & viruses.
• Lowers risk of cancer & death.
• Lowers risk of depression & suicide.
• Lowers stress, cortisol & anxiety.
A low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils, sugar & processed foods provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. This approach keeps Triglycerides low & HDL high, which is one of the best Biomarkers for Cardiovascular health.
TG/HDL ratio optimally should be 1.5 or less.
“The Longest Lived People Had High Cholesterol Levels…And Yet We Live In A World That Hates Cholesterol!”
Dr Ben Bikman, PhD
“Cholesterol Is A Molecule Of Life & Mitochondria. We Need LDL, It Actually Helps The Body Fight Infections.”
“LDL Is Also An Unsung Hero Of Immunity.”
“We Have Chosen Markers In Modern Medicine That We Have Well Designed Drugs, So It’s A Really Really Good Way To Sell A Lot Of Drugs.”
Research has confirmed over & over that the higher your LDL the longer you live. LDL is a transport molecule for cholesterol & a vital immune system regulator. Lowering LDL thru statin drugs has deadly & deleterious effects. For example, It has been documented that when LDL drops below 70 mg/dL, hemorrhagic strokes (brain bleeds) increase almost 3 fold. When total cholesterol is chemically lowered below 180 mg/dL the rate of cancer & dementia increases drastically. And when total cholesterol stays below 150, chronic illnesses like cancer & autoimmune diseases occur & cannot be healed nor put into remission.
Without Abundant Cholesterol Our Bodies Cannot Make:
- Testosterone
- Aldosterone
- Cortisol
- DHT Dihydrotestosterone
- DHEA Dehydroepiandrosterone
- Estradiol Estriol Estrone
- Progesterone
- Vitamin D LDL,
- HDL & Cholesterol Are Essential For Life:
- Protects against chemicals, toxins & heavy metals.
- Prevents dementia & cognitive decline.
- Protects against all cause mortality.
- Production of all steroid hormones.
- Bone density & Osteoporosis prevention.
- Protective against stroke & heart disease.
- Important for lungs & airways.
- Building block of all cells & mitochondria.
- Absorption of Vitamins A, D, E & K.
- Critical for digestion & bile acids.
- Immune system protection against infections.
- Protection against bacteria, pathogens & viruses.
- Lowers risk of cancer & death.
- Lowers risk of depression & suicide.
- Lowers stress, cortisol & anxiety.
For Vibrant Metabolic & Mitochondrial Health: A low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils, sugar & processed foods provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. This approach keeps Triglycerides low & HDL high, which is one of the best Biomarkers for Cardiovascular health. TG/HDL ratio optimally should be 1.5 or less.
