Cholesterol after 3 years of eating mostly meat and fat
I am low carbing and am eating mostly meat and vegs. No bread, sweets,
pop, rice, etc. I had my cholesterol done again, after 2.5 years. My cholesterol is about same as it was two years ago, at 197. (it was 187 2 years ago in March 2005). Glucose is at 81, trigs at 67, HDL at 46 and LDL at 138. The doctor said that my cholesterol was fine. I do not personally believe that cholesterol is a useful measure of health, but in any case, eating a lot of fatty meat does not seem to affect it that much. I do, however, try to not eat too much milk fat. i |

There is more to cholesterol than just diet. I cannot believe eating fatty meat is good for you at any rate, but if you have genes that make you likely to live to 100, then it might not matter. Most of us need to watch our cholesterol intake though. dkw |

But the stuff they've discovered since - there's such an incredible amount of research into things like CLA and vitamin K2 that just weren't there a couple decades ago. I'm becoming more and more convinced that eating the way my great-grandparents did is the primary thing to do to protect my heart. There was almost no heart disease back then and they had never even heard of cholesterol. There is no "Scientific Proof" that the modern food supply which has cheap corn as the basis for our fattened meats (pork, beef, poultry) and corn based chemistry as common ingredients (such as HFCS) is more "Healthy" than the old fashioned way of eating which included grass fed beef, for example (with lower concentration of Saturated Fat). We are the guinae pigs of an uncontrolled industrial food experiment. There isn't a control group, and it is certainly not double blind either. |

Most of us need to watch our cholesterol intake though. dkw Right.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - No conspiracy theories please, at least not with cholesterol. Just don't try and defend a high cholesterol diet as being good for you unless you have the SCIENTIFIC long-term studies to show how wrong all that research is, and not using any of that Atkins mumbo-jumbo. Maybe you'll be lucky though and escape being fat and/or having a coronary. You could certainly be right that it might not hurt YOU, but there is plenty of good hard evidence that statistically high-cholesterol diets are related to athersclerosis. The misleading info would be coming from big business like Dairy Association or Beef Council, etc. Nobody has any vested interest in recommending that you reduce your intake of those products either. Atkins might very well have a vested interest in trying to tell you it is OK to eat something that he already suspects you love to eat and convince you to buy his book though. If you want a conspiracy, you should look harder at advertising, not scientific research done at medical centers and universities. dkw |
