What’s puzzzling about this is that statins ggo after fats while the article talks about displaced calcium in the arteries.
Secondly, the scare sheets don’t afree with the article and studies show that statins can’t distinguish between blood fats and brain matter...ehich is primarily made of cholesterol.
My endochrinologist told me that high blood cholesterol has nothing to do with fats from meats and veggies, and everything to do with high consumption of carbogydrates.
So to burn up cholesterol, one needs to severely reduce carbs, eat a healthy diet. High veg, medium meat, knockoff the bread, pasta, and sweets.
No, try convincing a diabetic that having pee scented breath is better than a bowl of pasta and chocolate cake 🤣
Carbohydrates become triglycerides if not used in muscle as energy. They are then supposed to feed fat cells, if insulin is working right.
Most people with high cholesterol have high triglycerides as the biggest weight on the Total Cholesterol number.
Cholesterol is manufactured in the liver if we do not ingest at least 1,000 - 1,500 mg of cholesterol throughout the day. Recent studies show cholesterol in food has little to no bearing on blood cholesterol numbers, at least when staying below 1,000 - 1,500 mg in a day. NOTE: An egg has 200 mg of cholesterol. This new knowledge is why eggs are okay to eat again.
Vitamin K2 helps move coronary calcium back into the bones, but we need to also ingest enough calcium (and circulating Vitamin D assists).
We don’t “burn up cholesterol,” but we can get better utilized and reuse/breakdown its parts for other bodily functions.
K2 potentiates extraction and transport of calcium deposits from soft tissues to the bones and teeth. Nattokinase dissolves fibrin deposits which contribute to formation of plaque structures in arterial walls. Natto (only in combination with Red Yeast Rice) has been found to lower blood lipids. Some variants of RYR mirror Lovastatin’s activity.
