The Demonisation of Cholesterol: How a Vital Substance Became the Enemy of Human Health

The Demonisation of Cholesterol: How a Vital Substance Became the Enemy of Human Health

For decades now, cholesterol has been portrayed as a silent killer, an internal saboteur blamed for heart disease, stroke, and a wide range of modern ailments, yet this narrative did not arise organically from timeless wisdom or careful observation of human health across history, but rather from a narrow scientific hypothesis that hardened into dogma, was institutionalised, commercialised, and eventually enforced through public health policy, medical training, food manufacturing, and pharmaceutical intervention.

Cholesterol is not an invader, it is not a toxin, it is not optional and it is one of the most essential substances in the human body, so fundamental that without it, life as we know it cannot function. And the pre-adamite fire-born enemies of mankind know this, the know how the divine spark is diminished through the weaponisation of food. 

Cholesterol as a Cornerstone of the Human Body

Cholesterol plays a central role in the structure, development, and maintenance of the human organism. It is a primary component of every cell membrane, giving cells their integrity, flexibility, and ability to communicate. It is indispensable to the brain, which is itself composed of a remarkably high proportion of cholesterol and fat, reflecting the reality that cognition, memory, mood, and perception are lipid dependent processes.

Cholesterol is required for the synthesis of steroid hormones, including testosterone, oestrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and aldosterone, all of which govern libido, fertility, stress response, immune regulation, energy balance, and emotional stability. It is also essential for the production of vitamin D, which functions not merely as a vitamin but as a hormone affecting immunity, bone health, and neurological resilience.

To reduce cholesterol indiscriminately is therefore not to remove a danger, but to weaken multiple systems at once; quietly, slowly, and cumulatively.

The Cost of Suppressing Cholesterol

When cholesterol levels are aggressively reduced, whether through dietary manipulation or pharmacological intervention, the consequences ripple outward. Libido declines, not as an abstract side effect but because the raw material for sex hormones has been constrained. Cognitive sharpness dulls, memory formation weakens, and emotional regulation become unstable, particularly over long periods.

There is growing concern, voiced by critics of the conventional lipid hypothesis such as Malcolm Kendrick, that neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia correlate strongly with disruptions to lipid metabolism, especially in ageing populations who have spent decades consuming processed foods while simultaneously being encouraged to avoid natural fats.

The brain does not thrive on glucose alone. It requires fat, and it requires cholesterol. When these are chronically restricted or replaced with unstable industrial substitutes, the consequences should not surprise us.

Seed Oils and the Industrialisation of Food

One of the most damaging shifts in modern nutrition has been the widespread replacement of traditional animal fats with industrial seed oils. These oils, derived from crops such as rapeseed, soybean, sunflower, corn, and cottonseed, are not extracted gently or naturally, but through intensive chemical processing involving high heat, solvents, bleaching, and deodorisation.

By the time these oils reach supermarket shelves, they bear little resemblance to the original seed. They are highly prone to oxidation, particularly when heated, and they introduce unstable fatty acids into the body that are not well matched to human evolutionary biology.

In contrast, cold pressed plant oils such as olive oil can be beneficial when used appropriately, particularly for cold applications like dressings or light finishing, but even these degrade when exposed to high temperatures and should not be treated as universal cooking fats.

For high heat cooking, the most stable and historically consistent fats are animal fats such as butter, ghee, tallow, and lard, which have nourished human populations for millennia without the epidemic of metabolic disease we see today.

Processed Food, Degeneration, and Dependency

The dramatic rise in degenerative conditions such as dementia, metabolic syndrome, chronic inflammation, and hormonal imbalance parallels the rise of processed food, seed oils, and the decline of home cooking using simple, recognisable ingredients. This is not merely a nutritional issue, it is systemic. When natural health declines, dependency increases. Dependency on medication, dependency on medical systems, dependency on pharmaceutical intervention, and dependency on institutions that profit from chronic illness rather than the cultivation of robust health.

The mainstream health system continues to support a narrative that frames cholesterol as an enemy while quietly ignoring the role of industrial food, refined carbohydrates, chemical additives, and lipid disruption. In doing so, it sustains a feedback loop in which humans are progressively weakened and then sold solutions for the very conditions that the system helped create.

Practical Steps Toward Reclaiming Health

Reversing this trajectory does not require extremism or obsession, but rather a return to grounded practices that were once ordinary.

• Importantly, STOP taking Statins; they are reducing your capabilities to live a fruitful life. Life is not about endless focus on longevity, it is about quality.

• Cook more meals at home, using simple ingredients that you understand and recognise, and treat eating out as an occasional pleasure rather than a daily norm.

• Buy staple foods in bulk where possible, store them well, and reduce reliance on packaged convenience products, which are almost always more expensive in both financial and biological terms.

• Favour simple dishes made from whole foods, which tend to be both more satisfying and more nourishing than complex industrial creations.

• Drink and cook with unweaponised water where possible, avoiding additives such as fluoride, and filter when you can.

• Move away from homogenised milk if tolerated alternatives are available, and seek dairy products that are minimally processed.

• Use plant oils primarily for cold meals such as salads, and reserve animal fats for cooking, particularly at higher temperatures.

• Choose butter over synthetic spreads, which are often little more than emulsified seed oils with added flavouring and stabilisers.

These choices are not about nostalgia or rebellion; they are about alignment with how the human body actually works.

Closing Reflection

The weaponisation of food, the distortion of nutrition science, and the expansion of pharmaceutical dependency are not isolated failures of modernity; they are coordinated expressions of a deeper, malevolent intelligence that operates behind the visible systems of power. These forces do not primarily seek profit, although profit is harvested; they seek compliance, weakness, dependence, and above all the dulling of the divine spark within the human being.

When food is engineered to inflame rather than nourish, when cholesterol is demonised despite being foundational to brain integrity, hormonal balance, and vitality, and when synthetic substitutes replace natural fats that sustained humanity for millennia, the outcome is predictable.

Cognitive decline increases. Libido collapses. Emotional resilience weakens. Memory fractures. Anxiety and despair become normalised.

A population that is tired, inflamed, medicated, and disconnected from its own instincts is far easier to manage than one that is strong, clear minded, and sovereign. Pharmaceutical intervention then presents itself as the solution to the very conditions that industrial food systems created, completing the loop of dependency. Each drug addresses a symptom while deepening the underlying disconnection from the body’s innate intelligence. Over time, the individual is trained to outsource responsibility for health, discernment, and even identity to external authorities, rather than trusting the design and wisdom embedded within them by the Source, the Almighty.

This is not accidental. It is not merely incompetence. It is a systematic neutralisation of the spark, the part of the human that remembers God, perceives truth intuitively, and resists enslavement through fear. A human aligned with the Source is difficult to manipulate. A human disconnected from the Source becomes programmable.

Food is only one string on this bow. Media, education, medicine, finance, entertainment, and even institutional religion all play similar roles when they replace direct alignment with God with mediated authority. Each system trains the individual to look outward for validation, healing, and meaning, while slowly forgetting the inward connection that once anchored humanity.

The answer is not rage, nor panic, nor obsession with exposing every layer of the system. The answer is return. Return to simple food. Return to the body. Return to natural rhythms. Return to discernment. Return to gratitude. Return to the Source that requires no intermediaries, no prescriptions, no algorithms, and no permission.

Health, clarity, and sovereignty do not come from compliance with engineered systems; they emerge naturally when the human realigns with how they were created to live. The more people quietly step out of dependency and back into alignment, the weaker these systems become, not through protest, but through irrelevance.

The war on the spark only succeeds when the spark is forgotten. Remembering is an act of resistance. Returning to Source is the only lasting answer.
