Lowering Cholesterol Without Statins

[IronLiver]

Here you idiot, an exerpt from the very first page that came up when I searched your claim. It contradicts the only culture you could come up, and you were even wrong when you said they don't eat fiber. They do, it's just a lot lower because they can only pick berries and other small plants during the summer months. Yes the human body can survive without fiber and vegetables though adaptation, but like the article says, it is designed to thrive with them. And isn't what this entire board is about, having your body thrive at the highest possible level.

In order to learn the truth, you will need to dive deeper than the first page of google. Anyways, I do not know what any of this had to do with cholesterol? You are trying to argue the importance of fiber, which has nothing to do with cholesterol. Cholesterol is found only in animals and therefore the only way for you to get it is by eating animals.

Vegans are animals, so naturally they are made of cholesterol just like all other animals. Your liver and other cells in your body produce about 75 percent of the cholesterol in your blood. The other 25 percent of cholesterol comes from foods. A vegans liver doesn't function optimally due to a diet that lacks a ton of nutrients, so they can't produce as much good cholesterol as someone that consumes meats and saturated animal fats. Nor do they get the extra cholesterol that comes from eating animals.

Do you get cholesterol from eating cholesterol? Shrimp are high but they don't raise cholesterol in otherwise healthy people. Kinda like Collagen, eat all you want but it wont matter. The body breaks it into aminos.

Cholesterol is a very complicated topic. Here is one of the best articles that I've read on the topic.

Great article. "The Great Cholesterol Myth" by Dr. Sinatra is also a good read.

Chol is formed from Acetyl CoA - from glucose and its metabolites, and Acetoacetyl CoA - from the breakdown of carbs and lipids.
The chol which causes a problem is from to much serum (meaning - "in the blood") that forms deposits in cells. Eating cholesterol contributes only a small part of the deposits, mostly the deposits are formed from saturated (animal) and trans fats (animal).
