The problem with heart disease is NOT cholesterol.
The problem is Omega 6 oil, or good old vegetable oil. Cooking oil is a relatively new product. Oil (except olive oil) is an unstable compound that breaks down quickly (turns rancid). That’s because the molecules lose electrons over time. But cooking oil has had its electrons stripped off in the manufacturing process, making it more stable.
The problem is that your body does not know what to do with this artificial product. It breaks down poorly and scars your arteries.
Guess what you need in abundance to fix scarred arteries? Vitamin C.
If you don’t get enough Vitamin C (from natural sources like raw tomatoes, green peppers, oranges, etc.), the microphages on the artery walls grab cholesterol (which your body makes when it needs it!) and plasters the scarred walls with it. Better a patch job than scarred arteries that can’t expand or contract and may break and leak.
The solution is to balance omega 3 and omega 6 about 1:1. Right now most Americans, as a result of eating fried foods in excess, are about 1:26. They take a fish oil pill each day and think that will balance out the french fries and KFC. Use fish oil or flaxseed oil on salad and other raw applications. Do NOT cook flaxseed oil!
If you have problems with high levels of LDL, you can get red yeast rice to help bring it down. Better yet, switch to a vegetarian diet and when you want to saute something, use coconut oil. It’s naturally hydrogenated and your body can digest it quite well.
God made our bodies to work right with the foods He put on the earth. He created everything we need to heal our diseases.
I’ve been meaning to research this more, so if you want to have additional information, ping me back and I’ll post some links to articles about this. The topic of cholesterol makes me crazy the way it’s been communicated - full of misinformation!
Very interesting. Yes, please ping me to any other cholesterol info you have.
