Ep.66 The Cholesterol Myth | Understanding Bad vs. Good Cholesterol

What’s the difference between bad cholesterol and good
cholesterol? What are the negative impacts of refined sugar and
canola oils used in most of the commercial cooking and prepared
foods we eat? Sally Fallon’s book Nourishing Traditions is a
vital resource for understanding all of this. She provides
information on healthy foods to eat and dieting practices we can
take to improve our health.


Most of us have been raised to believe that high cholesterol is
bad for us, end of story. But what about good cholesterol? And
how did we set the bar for what a healthy cholesterol level is in
the first place?


Thirty years ago it was believed that cholesterol levels below
250 were good for you. One day the stockholders association
decided to lower this number to 225, and if you look through the
medical literature you will discover that this decision was made
without any evidence backing it up. Once this number was lowered
to 225, all of the sudden the amount of cholesterol-lowering
medication skyrocketed and the stock went up dramatically. This
greatly profited these drug companies, and within just a few more
years the number for healthy cholesterol levels was reduced even
further to 199. Again the drug industry experienced another spike
in profits from cholesterol medications following this decision.


Unfortunately, cholesterol drugs have a long list of problems and
(“side”) effects. Knowing this, Dr. McCollum does not recommend
that you just jump off of your medication, however it may be a
wise decision to talk to a good doctor about healthy changes you
can make moving forward.
