Seriously… If we’ve learned anything over the last few years, it’s that whatever is villainized is likely something that is good for you. Cholesterol is one of those things. (Cholesterol is not the problem….. INFLAMMATION is the problem). We suffer when cholesterol is too low….. every cell in our body needs cholesterol…. our brain needs cholesterol (people who have low cholesterol are the ones that ultimately tend to end up in dementia units) …. our sex hormones need cholesterol. You’ve heard me talk about this sooooo many times.
This is a new one for me tho: Cholesterol may be helpful in boosting cancer fighting abilities? I’m not surprised by this (especially in light of how every cell needs cholesterol to function well).
This doesn’t mean you should run out and eat junk food. Remember sugar and processed foods are inflammatory, as are seed oils (which the restaurant industry unfortunately loves to use).
Eat like God intended us to eat….. whole foods!
