[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1000970, member: 30007"] Many people adopting the LCHF approach find that it results in a reduction in their key Cholesterol indicators. I certainly found that to be the case when I embarked on a lower carb diet. Managing the levels of monounsaturated and saturated fats is probably key to cholesterol levels. In addition, the evidence is that dietary cholesterol has next to no impact on blood plasma cholesterol (a 10% increase, and to put it in context, smoking risk is 300%), and therefore CVD, as most recently documented from page 24 of this report: [URL]http://publications.credit-suisse.com/tasks/render/file/index.cfm?fileid=9163B920-CAEF-91FB-EE5769786A03D76E[/URL] As the paper says: 1. High cholesterol (above 240 mg/dl) is only a marker for CVD in men, and does not cause CVD. 2. For all other diseases, higher cholesterol pointed to lower death rates due to it being an indicator of a healthy immune system. Have a read of the paper. It completely debunks the myth of Fat and Cholesterol. [/QUOTE]
