Some of
things you think you know that just ain’t so (these myths are not true): Eating Cholesterol does not increase your cholesterol levels Salt does NOT cause High Blood Pressure Eating Fat does NOT make you fat All refined carbohydrates are hazardous to you Artificial sweeteners of all kinds are not good for you All vitamins and supplements are NOT created equalEating Cholesterol does not increase your cholesterol levels
The Medical professions current way of thinking about cholesterol. They look and see lots of cholesterol in
blood. So they scratch their head and say, well, don’t eat so much cholesterol then. If you eat less cholesterol, you will not have as much in your blood. Now, on
surface, it sounds good. But there are two major flaws with their theory. The first one. It doesn’t work. I dare you to try and find someone whose cholesterol significantly went down by eating less cholesterol. You will be hard pressed to find someone. Even with medication.
That brings in my favorite definition of insanity. Doing
same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. This is what
medical profession has been doing for Years. Telling people to do
same thing, with out really getting results, expecting to get different results. It just doesn’t work that way.
The Second flaw in their theory is this. The cholesterol in your blood is not
same cholesterol in
food you eat. Your body actually has to break down
cholesterol in
food you eat, and then absorb
pieces of
cholesterol. Then your body, if it wants to, has to reassemble
pieces back into
cholesterol you find in your blood. And your body does not make cholesterol, unless you need it.
The question is then why would you need cholesterol in your blood?
Cholesterol’s primary job is to carry glucose (sugar) around
blood stream. You need an equal number of cholesterol units as you have sugar molecules in your blood. So if you have 3000 sugar molecules in your blood, you need 3,000 cholesterol molecules to carry them. The actual numbers are much, much higher than this, but you get
point.
The more glucose or sugar molecules you have in your blood,
more cholesterol you need to carry them.
So what affects your blood sugar levels? Mostly what you eat. Refined Carbohydrates. When you eat refined carbohydrates,
get digested and absorbed into
blood stream very quickly. Your body then very quickly converts
refined carbohydrates into glucose. This causes a spike in your blood glucose levels. And if you have a high amount of glucose in
blood, what do you need again? That is right; you need lots of cholesterol to carry those glucose guys around.
