Conventional Ignorant doctor...

“Low carb can be associated with elevated cholesterol “

“Elevated cholesterol can be associated with heart disease”

“Don’t do low carb”

A good doctor...

Every cell in your body makes cholesterol if you don't eat enough.

This happens in All mammals.

Therefore, don't worry about your cholesterol level, worry about your A1c and Fasting Insulin (metabolic fitness).

I still struggle with anxiety about this but it just seems so unlikely that cholesterol is killing us when prior generations ate way more fat, and now we are eating a bunch of garbage that didnt used to exist

Fat isn’t cholesterol and the cholesterol you consume does not impact your serum cholesterol levels.

This is what I’ve heard but then why does cholesterol go up on carnivore/keto diets?
