i dropped my cholesterol from 136 to 107 since february of this year by reducing the amount of daily saturated fat i eat to about 15g a day
Why would you purposely want lower cholesterol?
>>77561624LDL cholesterol is the cholesterol that builds up in your heart and brain causing death
>>77561627It builds up in the heart and brain?I'm aware it builds up in the coronary arteries but building up in the brain is news to me.Are you sure LDL crosses the blood brain barrier?According to you, does lowering systemic LDL decrease this build up in the heart and brain?
>>77561596Mine is 180 and I'm only 20lb overweight.I don't even eat that much fat , too high on the sugar though.I will try it at some time to cut out saturated shit completely because it might be actually over if I don't.
>>77561633it doesn't build up in the brain>>77561596congrats, are you sure that's not because of your weight loss>>77561624no reason not toyou need very very little cholesterol to synthesize steroids, 1g would cover it for several weeks
>>77561596when a metric becomes a target, it ceases to function as a good metric.>LDLconflates two different things, only one of which is bad. The bad one is created when the liver gets overloaded by alcohol or fructose. By focusing on saturated fat you may have still reduced fructose, but this test tells you nothing on its own.
>>77561944tell the class how only LDL created from fructose is bad
