The myth of cholesterol simplified

That the age of 50, feels at home in the last twenty years or so, are consistent with recommendations to reduce the amount of cholesterol in the diet to prevent atherosclerosis were hammered (atherosclerosis) and the probability of death from a stroke or heart attack. Doctors, nutritionists, food giant producers and the government remind us that a "killer fat" and if we ignore their advice, we will be condemned to suffer the fatal consequences, areHeart disease.

It would be logical to assume therefore that the advice is sound, well-rooted and can be supported by scientific research. But behind the scenes, the evidence does not seem so clear as the propaganda says. According to doctors, many of the conclusions on coronary heart disease (CHD) have been misunderstood and incorrectly proclaims the contrary, shows where the hidden truth.

In the mid 1920s, when life expectancy was under 60 yearsAge, coronary heart disease (CHD) had already become an important and unresolved health problems in some industrialized countries. Deficiency diseases such as rickets, beriberi, pellagra and scurvy were epidemic.

After decades of extensive research in this time of food, vitamins, trace elements and components of the protein have been discovered shortly before the outbreak of World War II, in 1939, British Medical Association published a report encouraging people to have more eggs eating meatand milk products (BMA Diet), to ensure that it was the full spectrum of vitamins and other essential nutrients are consumed daily.

Liberia have been "together" programs for school milk and started long before the introduction of antibiotics, and childhood immunizations, better nutrition seemed most deficiency diseases and eliminates drastic reduction in incidence of childhood diseases like measles , scarlet fever, whooping cough and haveDiphtheria.

Other countries followed the British example.

Since the end of the 2nd World War in 1945-1975 because of the availability of cheap, sweetened, processed foods, the Americans had the amount of sugar in their diets for a huge £ 118 per person per year and the increase doubled . The amount of trans-fatty acids, healthy fats, had the fried fast food has also increased exponentially. At the same time, diseases of the "modern": allergies, asthma arose, attention deficit disorder, cancer,and diseases of excess – the excess weight and diabetes. Atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease are on the rise again.

Years earlier, in 1951 as a result of research on pathological American soldiers killed during the Korean War had pointed out that 75% of those issued with an average age of just twenty-one years of extreme examples of advanced cardiac disease, with a significant number with at least one coronary artery is completely blocked, a fat, containing fibrousCholesterol. But none of the stakeholders have shown no symptoms of heart disease. More alarming is the fact that, historically, have been dying of heart disease rarely Anyone under the age of 50 years.

Since the autopsies on older people who have died from heart disease are often higher levels of cholesterol in the blood than is normal at this time and hit a relatively rare and usually inherited disease called familial hyper-cholesterolemia "seemedsuffer more from coronary disease, and the fact that cholesterol is present in most of the fat, the assumption that I am fat and cholesterol to be blamed for heart disease and atherosclerosis could.

However, people with myxo-edema (hypothyroidism and excessive weight gain), or nephrosis (renal tubular epithelial injury) also have high cholesterol in the blood, but they have a higher incidence of coronary heart diseasethan the general population. Furthermore, high levels of cholesterol in the blood in people over 60 years of age to predict CHD.

Since 1990, however, thanks to improved health, which had the BMA, the Reichstag, the estimated life expectancy of 60 years of age has increased, before the Second World War, up to 75 years until 1990. But in the United States of America, coronary artery disease was out of control. The finger of blame was once the excess fat in the consumption of fried foods pointingAmericans.

Specifically pin almost forty years after the Korean War autopsy heart disease, America's problem "Bold" and "cholesterol in the diet? What has been totally ignored the fact that the Mediterranean countries, where people eat lots of high cholesterol food , is almost the same degree of suffering heart disease, as the Americans do not. No thought has been given the possibility that there may be "good" fats and "bad" fats, or other contributionFactors!

Without credible evidence that simply because the eggs, meat and dairy products contain fat and cholesterol has been announced in the same food that caused the heart disease!

How can it be? What is the basis for the expenses? Only a hypothesis? The BMA has not advised us to increase the consumption of foods themselves? What about the eradication of diseases of deficiency?

Well, even though research has shown that not all fats are treated the same way asthe body and we know that a certain amount of fat in the diet for good health for the establishment of guilt, fat and cholesterol in the norm for the problem in the course of heart disease.

Well, what exactly is cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a waxy type of fat produced in biological systems of all animals and is essential for life. The human body uses large amounts of cholesterol every day and the substance is so important that theThe exception of the brain, all cells have the ability to make them easier to substances within the body. It plays a role in intracellular transport, cell signaling and nerves, the management of the brain. As dead cells of the body, cholesterol is an important building block from which the walls are made of cells. It is also used to make hormones (), including sex hormones, bile acids and in collaboration with the sunlight on the skin, vitamin D 3

Much of the information on how the cholesteroleven been discovered in the human body when it was blamed as a cause of heart disease!

E 'fair to say that cholesterol is one of the most important substances in the body. Thus, cholesterol itself is not bad. In fact, for every 150 pounds (68 kg) of body weight, there are naturally in humans 3500 mg of cholesterol. Every day that is synthesized to replace about 1,000 mg, which is always under repair normal blood and cellular activities.

However, cholesterol in food, the best food sources such as eggs, meat and dairy products before. When you receive, mg more than 1,000 requests, our bodies simply less to maintain the normal balance of chemistry. If our daily diet containing 250 mg cholesterol, takes the "system" of about 200 mg, and comes with the rest as waste and to be synthesized only 800 mg. There is no evidence that a food> Cholesterol ending in the supply of blood. When less cholesterol is absorbed, like the system to offer more, especially if demand is too high after arterial repair because of poor diet, lack of a usable form of vitamin C.

We are the only animal that does not synthesize vitamin C does not possess and is the only vitamin that take a lot on our skin and artery walls flexible and healthy. Damage to arteries can be caused by infectious bacteria orVirus, and if it detects a weakness in the wall, is directly transported cholesterol from the liver in a low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-vans used to patch and vulnerability. After the repair is completed, and vitamin C levels are restored, the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol-used for transport to the liver for recycling.

Over time, if the infection continues, and levels of vitamin C are not normalized, you can create patches of high levels of cholesterolto the point where it blocks the flow of blood in the arteries. The cause of blocked arteries can lead to heart attack or stroke.

Although most cardiovascular diseases is demonstrated by the age of 60, statistically, the majority in this age with high cholesterol levels less heart attacks than those with low cholesterol levels. It 'has also been demonstrated that the levels cholesterol low body's immune system in danger.

So we know that an excessive accumulation Cholesterol can lead to blocking of the blood supply, but we also know that the system produces in response to the weaknesses and lesions in the arteries through which blood flows. Clinical studies have shown that less than 20% of the intake of cholesterol is absorbed into the bloodstream and the level of cholesterol in the blood is not influenced by the amount of food. How could whatever the amount of cholesterol in> Diet is not all that is absorbed into the bloodstream, and no research to show that cholesterol causes high cholesterol levels in the blood.

The real causes significant coronary artery disease leads to high levels of cholesterol in the blood to the messengers of the problem are:

Tobacco

Lack of exercise

Obesity

Diabetes

Stress

Heredity

Poor diet, high in simple carbohydrates.

If all these are set to normalize cholesterol levels.

So it is not a question of what in the diet, but rather a case that was neither too fitted, from nutritional deficiencies or poor absorption. Instead of debt based on an incorrect assumption that it would be a greater "hypothesis" that cholesterol build-up due to the underlying cause of malnutrition that triggers the cholesterol the body than the brand of guilt> Cholesterol itself?

If a car is leaking gas from corroded due to a tank, the fuel is the problem?

Instead, the debt would be an essential, natural substance and the mere removal of Messenger (high blood cholesterol), making the problem potentially serious – atherosclerosis or heart disease, no longer makes sense to build in order to attack Because of the excessive cholesterol – up, which seems to be a persistent weakness or damage to the level ofWalls, perhaps by a lack of nutrients or vitamins.

But the public service, food companies and the media continue to warn against the "fat and cholesterol in the diet. And so, instead of addressing the cause of the problem (bug diet) are simply a symptom of treatment (over – accumulation of cholesterol) with drugs and the complete elimination of some of the nutrients most important to our health and well-being continued.
