Cholesterol is always the reasoning for the low fat/high carb diet
In all low carb diets there is always the concern for cholesterol, people are always worried about blood fat. It is the consensus of the American medical establishment that high fat and heart disease are directly related. There is always an assumption that low carb diets are high fat by default and a risk for heart disease. The number of studies showing there is not a relationship between high cholesterol levels and heart disease is immense, however there is no attention given to it.
The fact is, there is a lot of research that suggests high body fat levels cause heart disease. The root cause of high body fat levels is extensive carbohydrate consumption. Have you ever questioned why metabolic syndrome is often connected with three big things: Diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. High glucose is a well known cause of type two diabetes associated with metabolic syndrome and we know it effects the kidneys and the rest of the body including the circulatory system. We haven't increased fat significantly in our diets in society, we have all but cut it out. So why is metabolic syndrome increasing significantly? One could argue genetics, diet, or a bit of both.
I will leave you to decide which one you will pick as the real culprit, but just keep in mind how little fat we eat these days when you do. At this point I would allow the process of elimination to take course. Got it yet?
I will be releasing a book about a damaging process related to excess glucose in the blood stream. This book is all about a problem known as Glycation. Until then visit my site and learn more about Healthy Eating Habits.
