Medical Myths That Still Exist

[Gadawg]

There is so much misinformation in the medical community that is usually based on one bogus study from ages ago. Even now with good info, most of this nonsense is still touted by the majority of doctors. Let's talk about em. Ill start a few:

Cholesterol levels are an important risk factor for heart disease.

Saturated fat causes heart attacks.

High protein diets stress the kidneys.

Testosterone replacement therapy increases the risk for CVD.

Testosterone causes prostate cancer.

The food guide pyramid.........

Have to disagree with your first one, unless you can post recent (within the last 2 years) research to
indicate otherwise. While taken by itself, like some of the other risk factors for CVD, cholesterol levels don't tell us much. But hypercholesteremia together with other risk factors, yeah, it can become very important. And single lab results taken 6 months apart tell you nothing except that at that particular time you were either within a normal range or not.

I can agree on the other points you mentioned.

Come to a country where dental care is excellent and good practices are followed but there is no fluoride in the water nor in the toothpaste.

Come see the ugly brown teeth.

My understanding is about 5% of testosterone converts to DHT. DHT helps regulate prostrate growth (potentially enlargement) and is linked to prostate cancer. I haven’t found anything that clarifies the last point either proving or disproving it. I’d be curious to know if it’s a myth or not.

All the new studies show that years of LOW testosterone basically load the gun for you prostate cancer wise so starting trt late in life can appear to be the trigger when, in fact, if they had managed their testosterone through mid life, it would not have shown up so early.

The truth is though, if you live long enough, every male will get some form of prostate cancer
