THE TRUTH ABOUT CHOLESTEROL

& how we’ve been lied to about to causes of heart disease

(Thread)

“High cholesterol causes heart disease”

How many times have you heard this? Probably a lot.

But what if I told you that cholesterol is actually necessary for good health?

And that everything you’ve been told about cholesterol is a lie?

Let’s get into it👇🏼

Without cholesterol, we die. It’s that simple.

It is needed to synthesize hormones like cortisol, testosterone, progesterone, estrogen and even vitamin D.

It strengthens your cell membranes, helps break down your food, and so much more.

So if that is the case, why has cholesterol been demonized for so long?

Well, like most things, you can follow the money.

The American Heart Association has demonized foods containing cholesterol & saturated fats, while encouraging people to eat “heart healthy” vegetable oils

This is horrible advice, considering those oils increase risk of heart disease, and foods with saturated fat are some of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet.

Imagine thinking that a grilled mushroom with canola oil on a bun is healthier than a grass fed steak?
