Who have better things to do than watch a nine minute video?

I only watched 30 seconds of the video before I hit fallacy overload.

However, the individual who posted it appears to be a "truther." Check his youtube page. It's classic.

It's a smorgasbord of truther, chemtrail, anti vax, the-government-is-poisoning-us, and perpetual motion machine CT videos. With some Jesse Ventura and Ron Paul BS thrown in for good measure.

I think I'm actually stupider after reading the comments on his channel.

It's a complete disaster, full of conspiracy theories and misinformation. Why are you posting this here? There is almost zero factual information contained in it. I'm sorry I wasted the 9 minutes of my life watching it.

Since I am the only one on this thread who thought it was valuable, and there are half a dozen others furiously opposing the validity, I feel a little bit odd.

Cholesterol is extremely necessary for life and we've absolutely been fed a load of crap about it. It's not what causes or contributes to heart disease and the arbitrary "normal" levels have been set by big pharma to sell statins, which are poison and have more than 200 side effects. Then pharma can prescribe more drugs for all the side effects..... We all need to wake up.

Since the 70's we've been sold out by our government and what used to be legitimate sources of health information, like the ADA, AHA. Here's a good video from a swedish doctor, telling the truth. Yes, it's long, but it will not be a waste of anyone's time.

Your post just confirms what I thought of the video. It doesn't support what everyone has said on the thread. They all seem quite certain of their stance on the weakness of the video.

I'm busy with some MIT engineering lectures right now. No time for anything else. Besides, I'm in the best shape one can be in. Diet, physique. I just thought the op's posts were always helpful. I'm even using an array of supplements she recommended. Now I have to reevaluate things. I'm not convinced this member should have been banned.

I'm doing a little jig right now. And I see it happened on Christmas Eve day. That was a nice present.
