I also think that cholesterol, and especially HDL and LDL are completely misunderstood.

"HDL" stands for" high density lipoprotein," and LDL stands for "low density lipoprotein." There are also IDL's and UDL's that nobody talks about.

So ... what IS a "lipoprotein?"

It is not cholesterol -- at least, not exactly.

It is a carrier of fats and cholesterol in the blood. The fats and cholesterol "ride" on the HDL and LDL "trains" through the bloodstream, to be delivered to various cells in the body that need them (or don't want them).

Lipoproteins are made up of several molecules, including cholesterol, but they are there to transport the fats and cholesterol through the blood.

I think of HDL as "Heading to Da Liver" and LDL as "Leaving Da Liver."

IOW, HDL finds fats and cholesterol that are "excessive" in areas of the body where it is not needed (and/or not wanted) and carries them to the liver, where the liver repurposes them, as needed. The LDL then carries this newly-cleaned up fat and cholesterol away from the liver to the cells of the body that need it.

The lecture by David Diamond explains that atherosclerosis is caused by sugar, not saturated fat. Sugar breaks down into glucose, and some of those molecules create little tears in the blood vessels. These tears need to be repaired, so the liver sends cholesterol to the torn area to act like "spackle" in dry wall -- to fill in the tear. If this process happens continually over many years (due to eating a lot of sugar), this cholesterol "spackle" can build up and eventually break off causing a blood clot, leading to heart attack and stroke.

If LDL goes up, it means there is either (a) more cholesterol needed to be sent to various parts of the body, and/or (b) more cholesterol is available (due to dietary ingestion), which allows the body to build and repair. After all, EVERY cell in the body has a membrane, and it is made of cholesterol. Likewise, EVERY hormone in the body is made of cholesterol.

Women who go full vegan get little or no cholesterol in their diets, and often lose their period; men who do the same often become impotent.

But eat some saturated fat, and it all comes back.

Doctors have been taught a completely false paradigm of health -- and especially, nutrition -- and most will never take the time to research it for themselves.

They pass on their ignorance to their patients, so it is the blind leading the blind.

Result: More than half of all Americans are obese, and almost half are on at least one medication.

Good money for the Rockefellers and their criminal ilk.
