Just from my own anecdotal evidence, going clean vegan dropped my cholesterol levels from 6.1 to 5.1 in ~3 months. I’m pretty convinced there is a lot of truth to high saturated fat/animal products negatively impacting cholesterol levels. But that is my own personal experience.
I’d encourage anyone seeking insights to just try a vegan diet for a while and compare their bloodwork, and how they feel. Seems like little point looking for answers in the science because of the amount of noise.
- RappingBoomer 4y agobut that vegan diet will likely raise triglycerides...
- FollowingTheDao 4y agoAs I said before I’ll keep repeating, it’s all about genetics. When I was vegan my VLDL was very high and my HDL was consistently below 35. When I went to a pescatarian diet with no plant oils is the only time my HDL is consistently above 50 and my VLDL dropped. I also have a history of early heart disease in my family. I would not suggesting a diet to anyone if they do not know their genetics.
