So in yesterday’s blog post I suggested to you that there may be another side to cholesterol than the usual sources might suggest. Who really cares? So you follow the more mainstream approach and attempt to lower your cholesterol through dietary changes why is that bad? Well here is some food for thought.
Dietary changes have VERY little to do with blood cholesterol levels so it is not a really effective strategy anyway.
Saturated fat and cholesterol makes up over half of our cell lining and gives them much needed stability.
Cholesterol is a precursor to vital hormones that protect the body from heart disease.
Saturated fats have antimicrobial properties.
Saturated fats enhance the immune system.
These are just a few of the positive things that cholesterol and saturated fats can do for you. So avoiding these things may not only be pointless, but might also be unhealthy. As always you should do your own research. Follow the links below for more reading.
The best write up on fats I have read.
Mark Sisson weighs in on the issue.
