Many years ago my uncle told me eggs were bad because cholesterol. So naturally, I ate 6-8 eggs a day for a few weeks, then went for a lipid panel. My HDL went from 50 to 60 and my LDL went from 80 to 70. I think I had two ramen noodles right before that too. Granted, the initial readings were from a year before, so maybe it wasn't the eggs.
- JoeAltmaier 5y agoYeah my total cholesterol has always been between 120 and 140. Not sure what the details are, but it seems to work for me.
- abfan1127 5y agothe answer to your question is why cholesterol exists. why does your body produce the majority of cholesterol? If your body produces the majority, why would diet (the minority) make an impact?
- Buttons840 5y agoIt's been awhile since I went down the cholesterol rabbit hole, but there was this guy out there claiming he could control his colesterol, and unless he was lying, the measurements back him up. He'd check his cholesterol daily and could influence which direction it was headed with his diet.
