I'm not sure about bacon though, but why take the chance. I recommend applewood.
It’s entirely possible. I won’t take statin drugs at all.
I also believe that the continual reduction of saturated fat is not healthy. They started out at 12% and now its 7%. They also advise only 46g of protein. Ridiculous. No one can maintain their muscles or build more with that piddly amount of Protein.
Furthermore, Cholesterol is necessary for good health. High levels of insulin cause production of cholesterol to be stimulated and fill the cells. Since the cells are full, there is not need to send LDL receptors to get more.
Controlling insulin by reducing simple sugars and starches from your diet will bring your cholesterol to a healthier state. Also Vitamins k2, A, D, and magnesium are necessary to get calcium into your bones and not clogging your arteries.
Where do you get Vitamin K2 - butter, whole milk, etc from grass fed cows, and eggs from free range chickens and certain fermented foods such as yogurt and gouda cheese.
The causative factor for cholesterol and heart disease is supported by weak observations of correlations. Blaming Cholesterol is like blaming the fireman for showing up to put out the fire. The fireman didn’t start the fire.
Also, once you get your cholesterol too low, you die from other problems, lowering it doesn’t lower the mortality rates if you consider all other causes of death. Well any way, don’t even get me started, I could complain about it all night, and I have to get to bed soon.
Most of your cholesterol is manufactured by your body. Cholesterol you eat has very little to do with it. However, other parts of your diet do have impact, as I discussed in the earlier reply.
