Heart disease is the #1 killer in the United States.
Between outspoken “experts” and advertisements for cereal leading the conversation, if you asked someone on the street what they believed caused heart disease, their answer would likely be cholesterol.
Yet, here’s the truth that might shock you: Your body actually needs cholesterol to survive.
Cholesterol is so important to your wellbeing that your liver produces all the cholesterol your body needs. So, even if you subscribe to a low cholesterol diet, your body is still working overtime to make up the difference.
So, why has cholesterol been villainized by conventional medicine, when other factors like air pollution, alcohol and insulin resistance have been recently clearly linked to heart disease?
The bottom line is this: your low cholesterol diet may be doing more harm than good.
