✍️ Dr. Steven Nissen, chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic: "The idea that we needed to limit saturated fats and cholesterol caused Americans to shift from a well-balanced diet to high-sugar diets, which led people to eat more and get fatter."
The reality, according to Nissen, is that only 15% of circulating blood cholesterol comes from what you eat. The other 85% comes from the liver. "Lifting the ban on dietary cholesterol is the right decision. We got the dietary guidelines wrong. They have been wrong for decades."
👉🏽 Without abundant cholesterol, our body cannot produce:
Testosterone
Aldosterone
Cortisol
DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)
Estradiol
Estriol
Estrone
Progesterone
Vitamin D
👉🏽 The most important fat in our body is cholesterol:
Protects against chemicals, toxins, and heavy metals.
Prevents dementia and cognitive decline.
Protects against all-cause mortality.
Responsible for the production of all steroid hormones.
Supports bone density and osteoporosis prevention.
Protects against strokes and heart disease.
Important for the lungs and airways.
Building block of all cells and mitochondria.
Enables the absorption of vitamins A, D, E & K.
Critical for digestion and bile acids.
Protects the immune system against infections.
Protects against bacteria, pathogens, and viruses.
Reduces the risk of cancer and death.
Reduces the risk of depression and suicide.
Reduces stress, cortisol, and anxiety.
An optimal brain is 60% fat and 25% cholesterol. A low-carb diet that prioritizes nutrient-dense animal-based foods—while eliminating harmful seed oils, starchy carbohydrates, sugar, and processed foods—provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. This approach keeps triglycerides low and HDL high, which is one of the best cardiovascular biomarkers for optimal health. The TG/HDL ratio should be lower than 1.5 or less.
