CrossFit“I want to show you how we are deceived,” Dr. David Diamond told the audience at the 2019 CrossFit Health Conference.
Diamond, who has a Ph.D. in biology and 40 years of experience as a neuroscientist, spoke on a topic that drew his interest later in his career: cholesterol science and the various forms of deception apparent in research on cholesterol-lowering statins.
Diamond developed an interest in cholesterol and statins in 1999 after being diagnosed with familial hypertriglyceridemia, a genetic anomaly that causes triglyceride levels in the blood to become elevated and leads to additional health complications such as obesity. After following the dietary recommendations — reducing his saturated fat and meat consumption while consuming greater quantities of carbohydrates such as oatmeal and beans — Diamond had succeeded only in raising his triglycerides, lowering HDL cholesterol, and gaining weight. His doctor recommended that he begin taking statins.
Diamond recalled the moment when he said, “‘Well, I’ve got a Ph.D. in biology. The least I can do is read about what is a triglyceride and what I should do about it.’” After delving into the medical research, he realized, “Damn! It’s the bread, and the potatoes, and the sugar I’ve been eating. I’ve been so happy eating bread without butter, and … it’s the bread that’s driving up my triglycerides.” He continued, “I was struck by this epiphany that I’d been given the wrong information.”
After his epiphany, Diamond began investigating how his doctor and the dietary guidelines could have gotten the science on cholesterol so wrong. He traced the misinformation to Ancel Keys, who became famous in 1961 for developing the cholesterol hypothesis. Keys’ hypothesis suggested the consumption of saturated fat leads to increased cholesterol that clogs arteries and leads to heart disease. Despite a preponderance of evidence to the contrary, Keys’ hypothesis became influential, and Keys, a man Diamond notes had “a bachelors in economics” and “knew nothing about nutrition, knew nothing about heart disease … was in charge, to a great extent, of nutrition and heart disease research in America.”
Diamond continued to review cholesterol science and statin research, and his first epiphany was followed by many more. For instance, contrary to received dogma, “People with high cholesterol have a significantly lower rate of cancer, infectious disease, and live [an] overall normal lifespan,” he explained.
During his talk, Diamond also explained the methods of statistical manipulation researchers and drug companies use to inflate statins’ effectiveness for lowering heart disease risk while downplaying the drugs’ adverse effects. He demonstrated, for instance, that the authors of the trial for cholestyramine were able to make a statistically insignificant .4% improvement in heart disease risk look like 24% by reporting relative rather than absolute risk. He looked at the study on Lipitor, which helped generate $100 billion in revenue for the company and found the same thing: The study claimed the drug could decrease heart disease risk by 36%, a gross manipulation of the 1% absolute risk that actually matters.
Diamond also argued the adverse effects of statins are manifold and significant. The peer-reviewed medical literature, he explained, has demonstrated an association between statins and Type 2 diabetes, rhabdomyolysis, cognitive disorders, cataracts, renal failure, and liver dysfunction, to name a few. Nevertheless, statins remain the most widely prescribed class of drugs in the United States. To explain why this is true, Diamond cited a quote from his colleague Paul Rosch, published in the Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal: “That belief that coronary atherosclerosis is due to high cholesterol has been perpetuated by powerful forces using tactics to preserve the profits and reputations of those who promote the doctrine.”
Diamond concluded, “The only person that potentially can benefit from a statin is someone that really wants to depend more on medication than a lifestyle change.”

She was in a wheelchair for 10 years, needed 24-hour care, and experienced excruciating pain. At times, King’s pain was so unbearable she was certain her body was giving up.
But King was intent on pushing through, focusing on what she could do, not what she couldn’t.
On her own accord, King walked into CrossFit Pembrokeshire and has been unstoppable as a human, a mother, and a competitive CrossFit athlete.
With CrossFit and her determination, King found an accepting community at Pembrokeshire, improved her confidence, strength, and body control, and has been able to live an independent life, watching her kids grow up.
“The reason I keep coming back to CrossFit is because I'm getting stronger each day, which enables me to hold my body up much easier, carry out daily tasks much easier, carry the shopping on my own, carry my cup of coffee without spilling it.”
King, a neuromuscular adaptive athlete, has big plans for the 2024 competitive season — make it to the CrossFit Games.

“We're celebrating that we're doing something together that is wildly uncomfortable and hard, and makes us feel weak and vulnerable. And we're coming together to say that we're all proud of each other.” —Denise Thomas, CF-L4
Scores on the whiteboard are representative of so much more than an Rx’d or Scaled workout. They’re a celebration showing up for the challenge, giving your best effort with how you feel, and being proud of yourself and your CrossFit community.
The next time your coach asks you for your score, take pride in what you accomplished that day and shout it out!
