    "Avoid animal products, fried foods, saturated fats…"

    IGNORE this BAD information. I’m tired of vegans telling the world animal fats and proteins are bad for humans. It’s a giant lie. In the name of avoiding saturated fat, vegans have been loading their bodies up with poisoness and rancid vegetable oils. Fried foods are bad if they’re fried in VEGETABLE OILS that are both rancid before and after they are heated. Omega-6 oils cause inflammatory conditions and promote cancer.

    For information on why vegetarianism is not all it’s cracked up to be read the article in REFERENCE 1.

    For a debunking of why saturated fat is bad for you, read REFERENCE 2 below.

    You DO want to avoid trans fats (hydrogenated vegetable oils). Those ARE bad.

    Saturated fats are NOT bad.

    And stop worrying about your cholesterol. There is a substantial body of evidence that high cholesterol causes heart disease. Go to and read through all the data published or referenced at the website The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics [3].

    Try reading the "Great Cholesterol Con" first, because cholesterol "good" and "bad" are very important for keeping cell membranes healthy and other vital roles. Next make sure you supplement your diet with mineral and trace minerals. We don`t get enough in our fruit and veg to maintain good health because the soil is almost void of most minerals. Eat a balanced diet, drink lots of water and have a regular exercise program.

    Whole grain foods, reasonable amount of complex carbs, exercise.

    Ignore Ashley. This is a person that thinks that two disreputable "scientists" who disagree with the vast majority of medical authorities worldwide. When challenged, they resort to insults and quotes from other members of the conspiracy theory group.

    Who are you going to believe, your doctor or some crackpot "doctors" overseas?

    This is a good question, since nowdays pharmaceutical companies are making millions selling cholesterol lowering drugs based on the pretension that nothing else works! When basically high cholesterol is a reflexion on deteriorating health mainly due poor food choices or mainstream western diet. Look at your health and body as a holistic system. Exercise is an element of health, like it is to breathe clean air, drink pure water and eat unprocessed foods that are void of damaging chemicals, altered/rancid/unhealthy fats like trans fats, etc. Quick advise… drink more pure water.. instead of sodas, etc, eat more wholesome foods. Fiber in our diet is a very important element that has been eliminated due to the processing of foods. Increase your ingestion of soluble fiber.. found in oatmeal, flaxseeds, beans… The lowering cholesterol action of soluble fiber is well documented. We need more of that stuff to keep or intestins working properly and to restore the benefitial bacteria in our gut. Be picky with your fat. While great amounts of fat might not be a good idea, is more important the type of fat that is included in the diet. Omega-3 rich fats, as in Flax Oil, fish oil… are known to improve the lipid ration in your blood. Olive oil is a good option too. Just sprinkle it on salads.. etc. Avoid… avoid! Trans fats… any oil that is hidrogenated or partially hidrogenated. These fats are included in a lot of processed foods and snacks. I would suggest go with caution with saturated fats.. I wouldn’t say no saturated fats.. and this is debatable.. I consume a lot of saturated fat from coconut oil… this fat has a cholesterol lowering effect due to the composition of the fat with medium chain lipids… just don’t take my word for it… research a little. Eat nuts… don’t be afraid to eat avocados.. they are really high in soluble fiber and good monounsaturated fats. I hope this helps you! Good luck!

    Cholesterol is only found in animal products (so anything that comes from animals such as meats, milk, eggs, butter, all diary, etc). So in theory if you become a vegetarian, you will have no cholesterol in your diet. Certainly stay away from eggs, butter, and high fats. Fish are a great choice because they contain omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids with are good cholesterol (called HDLs). HDLs help rid your body of bad cholesterol (LDLs). Increase your fruits and vegetables, and consider seeing a Registered Dietitian.
