hey, you know how you said the amount of eggs you eat doesn't matter, is their any particular article or studies you can link or provide me with that explains the myth about high cholesterol ? my family and friends are skeptical.
This is not an article. This is basic biology, nutrition, and chemistry.
Please google this and find hundreds of thousands of sources.
Cholesterol levels in the human body are raised by excessive amounts of saturated fats. Saturated fats occlude in the bloodstream, when they start sticking to the walls of the arteries, white blood cells are dispatched thinking that it is a free radical, they get there only to be absorbed into the saturated fat mass thus increasing the occlusion. When enough polyunsaturated fats are consumed (including EFA's such as omega 3, 6, and 9) it works like a sponge and cleans out the blood stream of these impurities.
Cholesterol levels are raised through the occlusion of the arteries and general HDL/LDL imbalances. Cholesterol is the most basic form of steroid in the human genome. Cholesterol breaks down in the body to assist in testosterone production and cellular regeneration.
Please research the rest of this for yourself, I simply do not have the time to give you any further explanations.
