What actually causes cholesterol? Is it the high fat diet? The short answer is no.
Cholesterol is a powerful, important substance that we need for our cells to be healthy. This whole mis-truth about fat causing cholesterol and the low-fat diet fad that developed as a result have been debunked and it is now clear that heart disease is due to inflammation of the heart.
Yes the foods that we eat do matter, in the sense that you shouldn’t be junk food that’s high in trans fats and preservatives. You should eat organic as much as possible. You can eat fat, you can eggs. Foods that decrease inflammation are going to decrease your risk of heart disease.
