Could you please link to some of this research so we may all review and benefit from it?
- DrScump 11y agoPerhaps you could first identify your presumed mechanism of action that converts dietary cholesterol into LDL.
- QSIITurbo 11y agoDietary cholesterol is linked to blood LDL, because eating phytosterols - which inhibit cholesterol absorption in the gut - will lower your blood LDL. The mechanism can be found online.
- dspillett 11y agoMost of my "knowledge" on this matter comes from physical copies of NewScientist and similar (my bathroom reading), rather than papers directly or something I've got readily bookmarked online. I'll see if I can find that particular issue when I get home, if I can I'll extract the references and pass them on.
