Oh yes ...
"If you are worrying about Cholesterol, DON'T. Another study based on cherry-picked data. My local Pharmacist claims that I'm wrong (Yeah, 3 degrees and still can't see how selective they were in the 7 Countries Study). Its another scam to sell you supposed "Health foods" like Margarine, and Cholesterol-reducing drugs."
98% of the cholesterol in our bodies is that which is MANUFACTURED by our bodies; it does not come from DIETARY cholesterol.
In other words, EATING cholesterol does absolutely nothing to the cholesterol levels in your body.
What does raise your cholesterol, ironically, is the so-called "heart healthy" diet pushed on us for decades by the American Heart Association: high in "healthy" whole grains, refined carbs, and low in fat. Most of the "whole grain" products on the store shelves today aren't really "whole" grains, and are most often made from genetically modified franken-grains. Breakfast cereals are amongst the worst offenders (I cannot believe how General Mills has gotten away with selling its Cheerios as "heart healthy" for so long -- even touting that it LOWERS cholesterol -- one of the most blatant advertising lies today).
All those carbs in your system are eventually turn into sugar by your body, forcing it to produce insulin on a near-constant basis.
Another cholesterol-raising culprit: fake sugars. That sip of "diet" soda tricks your taste buds into thinking it's getting the real thing. But the joke's on YOU; the taste buds alert the brain that "sugar" is on the way, better pump out some insulin to keep those sugar levels in check. The only problem is … there IS no sugar … and now the body has too much insulin. It forces the liver to produce even more cholesterol to flush out the insulin. Eating artificial sweeteners on a regular basis, therefore, puts the body in a perpetual state of insulin imbalance, forcing an overproduction of cholesterol, and eventually causing the body to become diabetic.
Of course, most doctors today are too damn arrogant to admit they've been wrong about all this. My regular doctor refuses to believe that I lowered my own cholesterol from over 200 to 95 not only by diet alone, but with a diet that completely flies in the face of "accepted" medical convention: dozens of eggs a week, WHOLE dairy products, olives and cashews by the fistful, and butter and oil by the spoonful.
