      Actual studies regarding cholesterol and the role that dietary cholesterol plays in increasing your changes of atherosclerosis

      Where are the studies? All I see is a bunch of hyperlinks to other pieces on that website.

      Oh, that's right - it's a sensationalist website. They probably wouldn't actually know how to read a study, much less conduct one.

      The hyperlinks all go to the actual studies themselves via "sources cited"

      I wasn't about to spam the entire thread with dozens of studies about different aspects of cholesterol - I thought it would be more beneficial for people to search for aspects that interest them more specifically and then can go to that specific research.


      It's not a sensationalist website, it is strictly science based where Dr. Greger M.D. FACLM summarizes the studies in an easy to understand manner while still providing links to those studies, no smoke and mirrors.

      There's such a thing as too low of cholesterol causing issues, has your doctor said anything to you about your number? Mine was at 150 and my doctor didn't want me to get it any lower, so I actually stopped taking fish oil because that can lower it even more. Now it's 167 and my doctor is pretty happy with it there. Just curious to what you're hearing from your doctor :)

      My doctor is astounded at my numbers thinks it's great

      My diet is high in both dietary cholesterol and saturated fats, and all my numbers are stellar, I have a six pack (at age 47), and have never felt better.

      I'm sad now. I thought it was good, but it was probably awesome before and I missed it.

      Actually, dietary cholesterol has now been shown to have no correlation to blood cholesterol levels.
      It's also beneficial for hormone production.

      I just like the truth. I like vegetables too, but I happily consume 10+ eggs each week and there's nothing wrong with my blood panels.

      yeah...I checked on that...the links just go to other articles which also have no sources (that I could find).

      It's not a sensationalist website oh it totally is, it is strictly science based oh it totally is notwhere Dr. Greger M.D. FACLM summarizes the studies in an easy to understand manner aka spins a tale to fit his narrative while still providing links to those studies again, couldn't find those studies, no smoke and mirrors except for all the smoke and mirrors.

      @williammuney I read somewhere that levels under 150 could even start causing depression.

      Careful ok? Too much of a good thing can hurt you.

      Skittles and whompers cause heart disease. Not an egg a day.
