Many years ago, my doctor told me my cholesterol was slightly elevated (I don't remember the exact numbers but it was 0.1 over the top number in the range) and signed me up for a course on how to eat. When I saw the list of foods I should avoid, I told the nurse I would rather be euthanized than to live without coffee, eggs, cheese, cream, butter and meat. Back then, euthanasia wasn't an option so I took the sheet home and never looked at it again figuring I would die from the effects of cholesterol eventually.
The biggest irony is that it is a complete myth that high cholesterol is caused by any of those things on that list.
The myth is perpetuated by garbage studies, paid for by the corrupt health associations, that don't do proper controls. The survey subjects that they find that have high cholesterol eat diets high in sugars, carbohydrates, and processed seed oils...
who also so happen to eat eggs, cheese, cream, butter, and meat. So they associated the latter foods with high cholesterol.
They NEVER do a controlled study on people who have diets primary of the latter (meat, cheese, diary, eggs, butter) but not the former (sugar, carbs, processed oils). This is by design. They actually WANT that association.
