Having a “normal” cholesterol level in a society where it is normal to die from a heart attack is not a good thing.
“Consistent evidence” from various “unbalanced” sources is that the so-called bad Ldl Cholesterotic Cholesterol causes atherosberotic deardiovascular diseases and heart attacks, our leading cause of death. This evidence base includes hundreds of studies involving millions of people. “Cholesterol is the cause of atherosclerosis,” hardening of the arteries, and “the message is loud and clear.” “Cholesterol, stupid!” commented the editor of American Journal of CardiologyWilliam Clifford Roberts, who has more than 100 pages of his own as he has published nearly 1,700 articles in peer-reviewed medical journals. Yes, there are at least ten risk factors for atherosclerosis, as seen below and at 1:11 in my video How low should you take your LDL cholesterol?but, as Dr. Roberts noted, only one is necessary for the disease to develop: elevated cholesterol.
Your doctor may have just told you that your cholesterol is normal, so relax. Thank goodness! But, having a “normal” cholesterol level in a society where it is natural to have fatal heart disease is not good. With heart disease, the number one killer of men and women, we definitely don’t want to have normal cholesterol levels; We want to have the right standards – and not well by the standards of the current laboratory, but well for human health.
Normal levels of LDL Cholesterol are associated with the hidden formation of atherosclerotic plaques in our arteries, even in those who have been called “low risk” If you go to your doctor with those kinds of values, you can get a gold star and a lollipop. But, if your doctor uses ultrasound and CT scans that actually look inside your body, atherosclerotic plaques can be detected in about 38% of people with the “correct” types.
Perhaps we should define the level of LDL cholesterol as OPTAAL only when it no longer causes disease. What is the idea! When more than a thousand men and women in their 40s were scanned, having an LDL level below 130 mg / dl left them with atherosclerosis in their body, and that is the labsterol test where most of this lab will process the standard.
In fact, atherosclerotic plaques are not found with LDL levels below about 50 or 60, which just so happens to be the levels most people had “before the introduction of western methods.” Of course, before we started eating the typical American diet, “the majority of the country’s adults had LDLs around 50 mg per deciliter (mg/dl)” – so that’s the true norm. “Low average values … should not be considered ‘normal.'” We don’t want to have normal cholesterol based on a sick population; We are looking for normal cholesterol in people, which can be as low as 30 to 70 mg / dl or 0.8 mmol / l.
“Although an LDL level of 50 to 70 mg/dl seems low by today’s American standards, it is within the normal range of people’s lifestyle and diet.” For millions of years, “through the evolution of human ancestors,” We have eaten a diet based on plant foods. No wonder we have the killer band of atherosclerosis, given the LDL level “we were genetically engineered to be ‘less than half of what is currently considered ‘normal.'”
In medicine, “there is an unfair tendency to accept small changes in dynamic risk factors,” but “the goal is not to reduce risk but to prevent atherosberotic plaques!” So, how should you go? “Due to recent evidence from trials examining the ben fi ts and risks of LDLC reduction, the answer to the question ‘how low is it? ,’ is, conversely, precisely ‘as low as possible!’ “” “‘Less’ would be better,” but if you’re going to do it with drugs, then you have to weigh that against the risk of side effects of the drugs.
Why don’t we just punish everyone with stats, by putting them on the water supply, for example? While it would be great if everyone’s cholesterol were low, there are risks of drug interactions. Therefore, doctors intend to use statin drugs in the highest source, to achieve the greatest cholesterol reduction without the risk of increasing the drug can cause drugs. But if you use lifestyle changes to bring your cholesterol down, all you get are benefits.
Can we get our LDL low enough through diet alone? Ask some of the top cholesterol experts out there, “and odds are good that most will say 70 or so.” Therefore, yes, we should try to avoid saturated fat and trans fat found in junk food and meat, and it is impossible for anyone to get a cholesterol level of 70 mg / dl with a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. ” Really? Many doctors have the wrong idea. LDL of 70 is not possible only in a good enough diet, but it can be normal. Those who eat a strictly plant-based diet can measure low LDL, as you can see here and at 5:28 of mine video.
No plant-based diet is the only dietary pattern that has been proven to reverse coronary heart disease in many patients. And their side effects? You feel better, too! Several planned clinical trials have shown that plant-based dietary patterns Signici improved psychological well-being and quality of life, improving depression, anxiety, emotional well-being, general health, and general health, and general health.
