Cholesterol
Please stop listening the propaganda, and please stop being scared of cholesterol.
The only people that benefit from you being scared of cholesterol are the drug manufactures, with (health destroying) statins becoming the first billion dollar drug.
As always, follow the money and you’ll find out everything you need to know.
... If you want to find out more about statins and the many ways they can destroy your health, then watch the documentary Statin Nation Parts 1 & 2.
Anyway, back to cholesterol ...
For those of you that don’t know much about cholesterol I’ll explain what it is here for you ...
Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in nearly every cell of your body and is essential to good health. It plays a role in hormone production, digestion and the manufacture of vitamin D following sun exposure, and helps protect your cell membranes.
As noted by Zoe Harcombe, Ph.D.,"It is virtually impossible to explain how vital cholesterol is to the human body. If you had no cholesterol in your body you would be dead."
The vast majority - about 80 percent - of the cholesterol in your body is made by your liver. The remaining 20 percent comes from your diet. If you consume less, your body will compensate by making more, and vice versa.
Contrary to popular belief, cholesterol is a crucial molecule necessary for optimal health, and not nearly the damaging culprit it's been made out to be.
Since cholesterol is a fatty substance, it does not travel well through your water-based bloodstream. Hence it is encapsulated in a lipoprotein.
As you’re probably aware, cholesterol has long been vilified as a primary cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet numerous studies refute this hypothesis, demonstrating that cholesterol has virtually nothing to do with heart disease - at least not in the way conventional medicine presents it.
As noted by Harcombe, the notion that there is good and bad cholesterol is also wrong.
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) are not actually cholesterol; they're carriers and transporters of cholesterol, triglycerides (fat), phospholipids and proteins.
"LDL would more accurately be called the carrier of fresh cholesterol and HDL would more accurately be called the carrier of recycled cholesterol," she says.
What's more, dietary cholesterol has no impact on the cholesterol level in your blood, so how could dietary cholesterol pose a health risk?
In simple terms... it couldn’t.
Now, let’s take things a little further...
Ivor Cummins (a biochemical engineer with a background in medical device engineering and leading teams in complex problem solving) likens the very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) your liver makes to a boat that shuttles not only cholesterol but also triglycerides through your bloodstream to your tissues.
The VLDL will dock onto receptors in your muscle tissue, where it releases triglycerides to be used for energy.
Cummins accurately notes that eating fat is not the cause of high triglycerides.
If your triglycerides are high, it means you're eating too many net carbohydrates, because it's actually sugar that causes triglycerides to rise, not dietary fat.
Once the VLDL has dropped off the triglycerides to be burnt for energy (or stored as fat if you're not using the energy due to inactivity), the VLDL becomes a low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which in conventional thinking is a "bad" kind of cholesterol.
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is colloquially known as "good" cholesterol, and the HDL is indeed beneficial in that it acts as a master manager, helping protect the LDL against oxidation and transport triglycerides and cholesterol in and out of the VLDL.
In a healthy person, the LDL will be reabsorbed by the liver after about two days, where it gets broken up and recycled.
This is a beautiful system, however, it is one that can be disrupted if you're eating too many unhealthy foods.
Therefore it’s no surprise that according to Dr. Thomas Dayspring, a lipidologist (expert on cholesterol), most heart attacks are due to insulin resistance. He has also stated that LDL "is a near-worthless predictor for cardiovascular issues."
So, as a general rule, a high-sugar diet will cause damaged LDLs to rise, beneficial HDLs to drop, triglycerides and, often, total cholesterol to rise.
All of these are conventional indicators of atherosclerosis or inflammation in your arteries that can precipitate a heart attack.
So as you can see...
Insulin, Not Cholesterol, Is the True Culprit in Heart Disease.
