Why is cholesterol important for your health and the function of your body? Is cholesterol in your diet really that bad?
Cholesterol doesn’t make you fat or anything, but it contributes to heart disease in the future. If you have a high cholesterol, you have a high chance of heart disease. To prevent this, try eating mono-unsaturated fats, and poly-unsaturated fats. These are good fats that lower bad cholesterol, and increase your good cholesterol. Sources of mono and poly unsaturated fats are nuts – almonds, pecans, peanuts, and walnuts, and cooking oil, lol.

Dr. Jay Heinecke, professor in the University of Washington’s Department of Medicine, reveals how new research suggests HDL, the “good” cholesterol, may also have a harmful side. Renowned for its ability to protect against heart disease, scientists have found the protein composition of HDL plays an important role in whether this kind of cholesterol is helpful or dangerous. A better understanding of these proteins could lead to new, more accurate tests for predicting or evaluating heart disease.

I’ve read that eating guacamole or avocados lower your bad cholesterol levels up to 22% in a week and increase the good cholesterol by 11%. How much guacamole or avocados should I eat each week to stay healthy?
One avocado per day is enough. You can eat 5-6 avocados per week to be healthy. It is best to eat avocado late in the day cause it could be hard for digestion. Also, do not eat avocado with any other kind of fatty or high protein food like cheese, meat, cream, nuts seeds and similar .

I’m asking this because my father recently got bad his blood test results and both his cholesterol and blood pressure came out to be very low. But he eats so much steak (he loves red meat), eggs, and other cholesterol-rich foods so it doesn’t make any sense. Any ideas of what could have caused it? And how dangerous is it? Thanks.
His total cholesterol is 105 (normal is 125-200) and his HDL is 25 (normal is greater or equal to 40).
cholesterol levels are partly related to diet and partly related to how much cholesterol your body manufactures. It’s genetics that determine how the body regulates cholesterol levels. Your father is very lucky to have genes that keep his cholesterol low. There is nothing wrong with your father unless his blood pressure is low enough to cause symptoms such as dizziness or fatigue. It sounds like he has excellent cardiovascular health.

Why has the bad cholesterol count gone up through the AMA? Who allowed the cholesterol number to be raised? Was this mandated by our government and the big drug companies? I am highly concerned towards taking Lipitor to lower my cholesterol, because of known and unknown side-effects.
The best way to lower your cholesterol is to drink more water.
Cholesterol is produced by the body as a preventive measure to protect the arteries from damage. When you don’t drink enough water, the body may take the water it needs from your blood (blood is made up of around 90% water).
When it does, it leaves salt behind (the body is composed of a 75% water/salt solution). This salt can become abrasive on the inside of the arteries, causing tiny holes and weakened arterial walls.
Cholesterol (or plaque) is the body’s way of applying a band-aid on the damaged areas. If dehydration continues, more plaque will build up until the artery becomes blocked.
To take care of this, you need to drink more water. If you’re not used to drinking a lot of water, doing so may wash out important vitamins and minerals, which may create a worse condition. To learn the proper way to do it, click on the link below. The information is free.

I’m looking for recipes that are low in cholesterol, and I don’t know what is considered "good." Is under 50mg good? Under 100mg?
I have a lot of recipes that look healthy to me, but I’ve never considered cholesterol before. To clarify, my priority is to lower cholesterol.
According to the American Heart Association, you want less than 300mg of cholesterol a day..
So depending on how many meals you have – anywhere from 50 to 60mg a meal.

If you or someone you know is on statin drugs or god forbid a doctor is recommending your child take statins it’s possible you haven’t gotten the whole story. Here is some alternative info on cholesterol.
Chris Masterjohn is completing his PhD in Nutritional Sciences with a concentration in Biochemical and Molecular Nutrition at the University of Connecticut, a frequent research and content contributor to the Weston A Price Foundation and is the creator of the website: http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com
Jerry Brunetti is an agronomist, eco agriculture consultant and frequent lecturer on nutrition and cancer treatment. Over 9 years ago he received word that without chemotherapy treatment he would be dead in as little as six months from advanced non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He opted not to travel that route and instead embarked on his own journey seeking advice, treatments, alternative protocols and hands-on care from a wide variety of sources. The result has been depth of understanding that is almost beyond compare, steady improvement in his own overall health and nothing short of a miraculous remission.
