I could’ve told you that and been 50% certain I was correct.

I believe almost nothing they say about nutrition.

MSG? Not a problem.
Salt? I’m not sure it’s bad.
Lard? I’m pretty sure it’s beneficial.

It’s not science. It’s marketing by the food industry.

Lol. How many people have had their lives wrecked by statins? It all turns out to be bogus.

Cholesterol is a major building block of testosterone.

They were doing great until the part at the end about avoiding foods with saturated fat. That’s wrong.

“A 2017 study that followed 135,335 individuals from 18 countries for an average of 7.4 years demonstrated that saturated fat intake wasn’t associated with stroke, heart disease, heart attack, or heart-disease related death (17Trusted Source).

What’s more, findings from randomized controlled studies show that the general recommendation to replace saturated fats with omega-6-rich polyunsaturated fats is unlikely to decrease the risk of heart disease and may even increase disease progression (19Trusted Source, 20Trusted Source).”

Does this mean we get the old McDonald’s french fries and Dunkin Donuts back?

Well, well. Seems like the health officials get new theories every day.

It’s good, it’s bad, well maybe it’s good. It seems like it’s more like “where do I get my next grant from.”

Really tired of listening to the latest theory from the grant recipients.

When they have some proof it will be time to listen. Haven’t we got enough speculation during this Chirona period?

Nitric Oxide (NO) is produced in your blood vessels, mouth, nose, and sinuses. It is one of you first line defenses against viruses. Humming will increase your NO levels. https://youtu.be/6v-nTRLEXFk

Plants, such as Beets, Celery can help, but nutrient levels vary wildly across the country. BigFarm only fertilizes with chemicals that make the vegetables grow, not with chemicals you need to stay healthy.

Supplementation works and this company was founded by a basic researcher who studied the metabolic pathways that depend on NO.

Making huge profits off selling Statins is far more important to the AMA and the government than actually making people healthy. The myth that we need Statins or that they are effective at preventing heart attacks, will go on as long as possible to squeeze every penny of profit out of Statins.

I refuse to take them. They are not effective at preventing heart attacks and cause all manner of side effects. We don’t even know all the long-term side effects of taking statins.

Diet barely moves my cholesterol. There is little difference in my blood tests between a strict low carb low fat diet and eating cheeseburgers and fries. It turns out that there is a blood test called Lipoprotein(A) that can identify a genetic component to cholesterol. I am WAY WAAAAY over the normal range on that test.

And if I get the mRna vaccine shot, I can change my DNA. Better living through genetic manipulation! What could possibly go wrong?

Pop a statin once a day and live free to eat what you like.

“But evidence shows people no longer have to be concerned about eating foods that are high in cholesterol. What’s changed is that many researchers and physicians believe that eating cholesterol-rich foods such as eggs may not affect the cholesterol that is in your blood. “

Only took our ‘esteemed’ medical community 60 years to figure that out.

I wonder if they’ll next figure out that widespread use of Statins is worthless for extending lives and has its own set of SERIOUS side effects, including diabetes...I’ll check back in another 60 years to see if they’re as quick to figure that out.

... Low-density lipoprotein or LDL (bad) cholesterol contributes to plaque buildup ...


Primarily if the arterial linings are inflamed.

Arterial inflammation comes from, in part, “vegetable” oils (corn, canola, soybean, cottonseed) and from insulin.

Get off the vegetable oils and quit stuffing your face with carbs (to minimize the insulin in your blood) and the inflammation, along with the corresponding plaque buildup, will be minimized.

It seems to me that since cholesterol is a building block for pretty much all hormones, that you probably can eat as much of it as you want, as long as you’re in an age group where your body needs to produce a lot of hormones. So in puberty and young adulthood, you should be fine, but as you hit middle-age or older, you probably want to slow down.

This stuff always goes in waves.
Eggs, Bacon, Salt, Meat - all bad...

Whatever.

I eat that stuff four times a week and my cholesterol is below 180.

The cholesterol you eat has nothing to do with the cholesterol in your blood. They have differing chemical structures. Your body manufactures the cholesterol in your blood. It doesn’t leak in from the food you eat.

I was prescribed Atorvastatin (which I call Anna Torv Statin), I stopped taking it because it made my liver hurt.

The cholesterol theory isn’t supported by science.Homocysteine is a better predictor of heart health.

Among all its other uses, cholesterol is used as a bandaid in arteries. If you have a bunch of cholesterol in your arteries you should concern yourself with what is damaging you arteries rather than a futile attempt to limit the supply of bandaids.

The current jihad on cholesterol is the 21st century version of bloodletting.
