[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1162138, member: 196898"] Even vegans will be making something like 80% of their cholesterol from their food. To add a correction to an earlier posting, cholesterol is not there to transport carbohydrates around the body, they package up the fatty acids required into glycerol bubbles (to make triglicerides) and this glycerol is made from glucogen (i,e.carbs). But primarily the lipid system is for fat transport and disposal. The current theory of arteriosclerosis is that damage to triglicerides and LDL particles is responsible for plaque buildup, and the high fat intake actually helps to reduce this damage. Reduction of LDL damage by oxidation by free radicals and giving up smoking will also help reduce our susceptibility to plaque buildup, whereas a low fat diet has been shown to increase our risk of CVE. The study that did it for me was the one of mortality due to CVE in hospital vs the patients LDL and TC values, and the correlation showed that a higher than expected number of CVE patients had low LDL and low TC values.
