CHOLESTEROL - AGAIN!
http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-straight-dope-on-cholesterol-10-things-you-need-to-know-part-1/#axzz254LarIUE
Ok, I know I have told you all a million times that cholesterol has been unfairly vilified. Read it here, for yourself.
Bottom line -
The thickening of the arterial wall is caused by INFLAMMATION!
Cholesterol is NECESSARY to our health!
Understanding Cholersterol
Many of you often have cholesterol on your mind. Here are a couple of articles that actually define cholesterol.
Mark Sisson: "It all boils down to inflammation. Inflammation is the number one factor in heart disease. This is an accepted fact now, but it still gets little attention and no real prevention or treatment. Think about it: you have your cholesterol levels checked every five years or more if your profile is “problematic.” When do you have biomarkers for inflammation checked? Unless you’ve had a heart attack or been diagnosed with a serious medical condition, probably never."
Dr. Schauss: “Cholesterol has been implicated in heart disease, but it’s a misnomer to call it a marker for heart disease – actually, it’s not. When we start looking at reliable research, we find that cholesterol is NOT definitively linked to heart disease". “Of course, we do see people with high levels of cholesterol having a propensity for heart attack, but it’s not from the cholesterol itself but from the blockages that it can cause in the arteries as a result of other factors such as inflammation.
