Help with cholesterol please

I have contacted him and asked if he knows of any other studies that have looked at intraday cholesterol values. Will come back if he replies.
 
It's an interesting theory that the body doesn't get cholesterol from food, but produces it as it needs it.

It makes me wonder why my body always needs more cholesterol when I eat saturated fats, and never needs anywhere near as much when I don't, if that is true.

Either way, I prefer my levels in the normal zones, I'm not happy with high cholesterol, so I just adjust my diet accordingly.

If you had just finished a 5 day fast then you definitely need to read the link I gave you. The guy who wrote it (Dave Feldman) found that his cholesterol was extremely high after an extended fast of 2 days. He then tried overeating before his next test and got his "best" numbers ever on a 5000 cal a day high fat diet.
I often wonder if we actually know very much about cholesterol testing is it just snapshot of our levels at that time and how much does it vary during the day? I'm guessing that little research has been done about cholesterol variations due to food, time of day etc.

Hi BB, I read most of that science stuff and found it very interesting. It was one of those moments where I thought I really don't know much about this; but I'm learning.
It also makes you wonder how much of this our own GPS know too. After all they don't specialise, knowledgable as they are.

All good stuff. Thank you. X

Agree completely about the lack of knowledge of some (most?) GP's where cutting edge science is concerned and because of the financial implications there are so few real studies being done these days.
