However, the body needs 1,000 mg to 1,500 mg of cholesterol a day, and if you don’t get it from food, your body has to make it.
My body has no trouble making 1,000 mg to 1,500 mg of cholesterol a day!...................
Do note that your body does not need all 1,000 mg - 1,500 mg at once, in a meal, though.
It is needed throughout the day, evenly distributed.
I eat 4 - 6 eggs per week cooked in good Irish butter. A pound lasts months in my freezer. Cholesterol is fine. Get beautiful eggs from Trader Joe and just discovered even better eggs from Amish/Mennonite farms in Eastern WA. Important to me that chickens are not caged. Not a big fan of cruelty.
Problem in all of this is that for some people the body makes way too much cholesterol. Them’s the folks who often have the big one in their 40s and 50s.
Heart attacks in the 70s often times aren’t as bad because people can develop collateral circulation that maintain circulation past the blockage. The younger patients get hit hard because they haven’t had the time to develop these vessels.
Seems like this fits in this thread.
