>Almost every person I know believes that LDL is “bad cholesterol.” It is one of the most successful pieces of medical PR in history, right up there with the food pyramid and the idea that dietary fat makes you fat. If you say “my cholesterol is high” at a kids party, people look at you like you’ve just confessed to smoking. So here goes: My cholesterol is high. Here’s why I don’t care.

Cholesterol is an indicator of inflammation, getting rid of it via drugs just damages you and doesn't fix the real problem. I can get my cholesterol down to nearly nothing if I do a strict AIP (autoimmune) diet, but I am so miserable it's not worth it. The doc told my bf he wanted him on drugs. I told him to eat exactly what I made and only what I made for him. Four weeks later, the doctor was shocked. No drugs, but we were miserable so screw that. Now he just tells the doc he will get it down like last time but never does.
