    Some notes about Cholesterol:

    1) Unprocessed glucose stores in the liver as .....CHOLESTEROL
    2) Our bodies manufacture cholesterol as a mechanism of the inflammatory response.
    3) Dietary Cholesterol only makes up about 3% of our total cholesterol, regardless of how much we consume.

    Having said all that, high cholesterol is caused by high triglycerides (bad fats) and poor blood sugar management, OR chronic inflammation. For kicks and giggles, let's say it is the former, if that is the case, cholesterol will come down by modifying diet to eliminate most simple carbs and taking some healthy fats like EVOO, Coconut Oil or yes grass fed beef tallow or lard. Usually this will take care of the problem simply because for most of our culture grains and sugars cause inflammation. It doesn't hurt to support the endocrine system as a whole to help regulate blood sugar.
