Cholesterol is neither good nor bad if that's the only marker that you look at like most western medicine docs do, fats are not bad, when you combine fats and carbs however...that's when you get into trouble.
LDL particles are bad. More specifically, ApoB particles are bad. LDL-cholesterol is a pretty good (but not perfect) indicator of ApoB. Get an ApoB test.
@@growingpure Most of the anti-vegetable-oil propaganda is nonsense. It seems pretty clear that if you fry in lard, tallow, or hydrogenated vegetable oil, bad things will happen. Polyunsaturated or Monounsaturated, things are less clear. If they are uncooked or cooked quickly or with low heat, they improve blood cholesterol. There's a theory that repeatedly heating them in a fryer may create trans fats, but there's little evidence that this is the case. There's also a theory that they oxidize, and that (dietary) oxidized fat is a boogeyman for athersclerosis, but I'm not aware of evidence supporting this belief.
Very interesting, I didn’t suspect coconut cream and ice-cream would fall into this group! And after having too much cheese during the holidays I need to do a serious cleanse now…
First of all, LDL-C is not causal. You can say correlated but not causal. You may be able to say that ApoB is causal but its not sufficient. Then of course if this was entirely the case, that LDL-C causes atherosclerosis, then the LMHR study would be showing us way different results. I'm AB, I eat a lot of the things in here that you say not to. I would not recommend listening to this guy when it comes to nutrition. He makes some points that are valid, with the dietary cholesterol statement not really impacting our total, but rather saturated fat having more of an impact. Also seed oils, don't consume them.. Don't fear saturated fat. Especially if you follow the phenotype of LMHR where there LDL-C >= 200 mg/d, HDL-C >=80 mg/d and Tri
Cholesterol is a bandages reacting to inflammation. I partly agree with the views presented here, as many foods presented here are pro inflammatory but it's important to recognise that this is high glucose levels driving inflammation up. Obesity adds to this. But natural fats, contrary to refined oils aren't dangerous on it's own. It's the combination of caloric excess, high carbs, deep fried and other processed 'foods' that triggers metabolic syndrome, drives inflammation and degrades Cholesterol into reactive forms. Hence low carb diets are so successful in lowering the Rick for heart diseases as they are lowering inflammation and accelerating fat metabolism disallowing plaque build up.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, some interesting points here. I'm actually planning some videos all around the topic of inflammation, the first one will be out in the near future 👍
Great news! It'd be worth noting different types & fractions of lipoprotein and their degradation due to oxidative stress. Undamaged cholesterol is actually heart healthy. Perhaps you can provide some insights on this perspective.
I don’t consume any of these foods except 3 to 4 boiled eggs a week and small portions of meat. Mainly fresh vegetables and fruits. I’m on medication for cholesterol but it runs in my family.

I'm interested in your thought on battered vs unbattered fried foods. Obviously, the batter soaks up a lot of fat. Unbattered, not so much.
I'd tend to agree with you - the more very hot, chemically altered oil is absorbed, the worse it is likely to be for our cholesterol 👍

Thanks! I think we all indulge a little over the holidays, but don't worry, just take it one step at a time and you'll begin to see results 😊
Are partially hydrogenated fats still legal in UK? In US in Canada, they are banned.
They are indeed still legal in the UK, which is quite concerning!

Sounds like you're doing great. Best of luck with your health journey!
I have high cholesterol because I only eat meat and eggs with butter and I feel great.
Then why are people on a carnivore style diet so healthy?
