In this video, I’m going to share the truth about cholesterol. There are a lot of myths out there about what cholesterol is and what cholesterol does.

The cholesterol myth is this: the more fat you consume, the more likely you are to develop heart disease. This is a lie that one research came up with. In his research, he omitted all of the data that disproved his theory.

Here’s what you should know about cholesterol.

HDL (also known as “good” cholesterol) stands for high-density lipoproteins

LDL (also known as “bad” cholesterol) stands for low-density lipoproteins

HDL and LDL aren’t actually cholesterol at all. Instead, they are proteins that act as envelopes to carry cholesterol through the body. HDL carries old cholesterol to the liver to be recycled.

The truth is, the body needs cholesterol to function. In fact, your body makes 2000 mg of cholesterol every single day. Nearly every cell creates cholesterol. When you consume less cholesterol, your body simply makes more of it to compensate.

Cholesterol acts as a bandaid to heal arteries and blood cells when they become damaged. Your brain, cells, and hormones are largely made up of cholesterol—without cholesterol, you wouldn’t be able to survive.

LDL carries cholesterol from the liver and into the body’s tissue. There’s nothing bad about this since the body needs cholesterol to function. Only a small portion of LDL cholesterol is bad and can cause artery build-up.

Inflammation causes damage to the arteries, and LDL cholesterol comes around to fix the damage. The more inflammation, the more LDL builds up.

What causes inflammation? Sugar. This includes whole grains, carbs, and hidden sugars in juice, alcohol, and cereal.

Instead of avoiding cholesterol, avoid sugar.

Increase your good cholesterol with:
• Egg yolks
• Butter
• Cheese
