Don’t fear the fat. Your body literally is built to run on it. Macrophages responding to oxidized LDL cholesterol trapped in the interstitial spaces of your arteries, opened by chronic inflammation is what clogs arteries. High cholesterol is caused by oxidized LDL molecules, damaged by chronic high blood glucose. An NMR panel will show you this, the damaged LDL doesn’t recycle at the liver receptors properly and builds up in the blood. LDL itself isn’t a problem. Fat is the most brilliant energy storage device ever conceptualized, don’t eat all the time and you’ll be fine let those blood glucose levels normalize.
