Cholesterol -- Your Life Depends on It!
Cholesterol is found in every cell of your body.
Why?
This site will give you the low-down on this vital nutrient:
how it works in your body
how some foods rich in it like egg yolks and liver are beneficial to your health
the potential dangers of drugs used to lower it
common myths and truths about it
reviews of both good and bad books about cholesterol
By reading this site, you'll get some of the best-kept secrets about cholesterol, like:
cholesterol's close relationship to vitamin D, which builds healthy bones
evidence that cholesterol may protect against infectious diseases
egg yolks, not whites, are the healthiest part of an egg
cholesterol is essential to learning and memory
in at least one to three percent of the population, dietary cholesterol may actually be an essential nutrient!
The undeserved contempt with which we often treat cholesterol can lead to food choices that can seriously compromise our health.
For example, Dr. T. Colin Campbell writes in a new and popular book, The China Study, that "eating foods that contain any cholesterol above 0 mg is unhealthy." I once believed this myself, and my health suffered because of it. (Read my story.) This site will show you that it simply isn't true!
I hope you will find this site informative and educational, but also that you will be empowered by this information to make good food choices from the full range of important foods.
