Author Topic: The Cholesterol Lie (Read 960 times)

I remember i saw a video showing an experiment from a UK University concerning blood & high fat food.
They had a guy eating a typical high fat UK Breakfast fry up & they tested his blood hours later after walking evenings for 1 hour ( i think it was 1 hour) & also not walking to see the difference.
It was alarming how much fat was in his blood when not walking & after they did the test you saw the fat seperate from the blood in the test tube.
When walking 1 hour the fat was much,much less. so exercise is important.

then how does that fat build up you see collect on your plate or pan not clog your heart?

The same way salt will rust a car but it won't rust your insides and it's essential for life.

then why would the FDA tell us to stay away from red meat, high fatty meats, and butter? And salt does raise your blood pressure.

These are all things that are bad for your heart. If you look at after cooking ground beef and you let the oil sit it turns in a sludge you tell me that’s good for your heart? Not saying it wrong but prove me right.

Yes, the heart runs on those fats. Those fats are good for your heart:

"Unlike most tissues, the heart mainly utilizes long-chain fatty acids, accounting for 60–70% of its fuel metabolism. Distinctively, glucose oxidation is less favored in the heart because the heart has very little glycogen available. It gets depleted very quickly under hypoxic conditions, plus little gluconeogenesis occurs in the heart."
