DOES THIS CONFIRM, "A CALORIE IS JUST A CALORIE" HYPOTHESIS? - TRUE ADONIS?

forgot to tell u guys this, but had recent blood tests done after 3-4 months of nothing but sugar, some healthy meals, lots junk, cereal, etc.  but no red meat, no chicken. the only protein i had was either from a little cheese, plants, or fish. even with the sugar...my lipids were the best ever. 170 total, 54 hdl, 121 ldl.

it all depends on your body composition and the state it is in at the moment. You feed such diet to a huge fat bastard and you'll give him a heart attack, you feed it to somenone with lots of muscle and great insulin sensitivity and he can get away with it.

to each their own, everybody is different. But saying that different food types cause same results in the body is bullshit. there's a reason why your body responds differently to carbs, fat and protein.

Hdlp and Ldlp isnt even cholesterol

Look at other countries where people have far higher average cholesterol levels and they out live americans, not to mention the men in those countries have noticeably higher average test levels    

Cholesterol is the building blocks of life.  

Fat and cholesterol are not the enemy. Refined/processed sugar is

So in america a man goes to the dr. The dr sends him to get his cholesterol checked. The dr says its high

So the dr puts the man on cholesterol meds and tells him that he can no longer eat fat meat, salmon, cheese, cream ect.

His cholesterol levels drop as expected

He goes back to the dr 3 weeks later cause now his dick doesn't work. His T levels are in the gutter

So, what are your thoughts on LDL, arterial inflammation, and plaque buildup?

So, what are your thoughts on LDL, arterial inflammation, and plaque buildup?  

arterial inflammation and plaque buildup and any other cardiovascular disease really come from out of whack blood sugar / insulin resistance and high blood pressure mainly. cholesterol only is a minor player here

you can have the worst cholesterol profile in the world, as long as theres no inflammation in your arteries and your blood pressure is fine you wont have any more chances for cardiovascular issues than someone with a perfect cholesterol profile.
HOWEVER its easy to just look at cholesterol levels, because for most people a fucked cholesterol profile goes hand in hand with shit diet and therefore high blood pressure and blood sugar levels/insulin sensitivity.

theres some really eye opening literature out there on that topic. once you understand the actual bodily FUNCTION of HDL and LDL (they are just TRANSPORT proteins), its easier to understand.
id recommend EVERYONE to read into these topics. cholesterol is one of the biggest healthcare myths/lies out there
