Raised LDL cholesterol is not a bad thing?
Let's start the morning off by being controversial!
Anyone who reads my posts has probably realised by now that I don't blindly follow the conventional bullshit we are drip fed regarding diet and health etc.
LDL cholesterol is not bad cholesterol and HDL is not good cholesterol. They are just different types that do different jobs.
The job of LDL cholesterol is to repair tissue damage. For example, when you tear your artery as a result of inflammation caused by eating shit foods the body repairs the damage with an LDL band aid/plaster. This results in a slight blockage/narrowing in the pipe (artery) and hence LDL cholesterol gets the blame.
Let's say you break your arm and it is set in plaster of Paris. Do you blame the plaster for causing the damage or do you blame whatever you did that caused the break?
Bodybuilders are constantly breaking down muscle tissue. That's what we do. So what does the body use to help repair this damage? LDL cholesterol. And the more damage you do the more LDL cholesterol the body produces.
The 'so called experts' are finally beginning to appreciate that high levels of cholesterol are not necessarily bad. It's the reason for these raised levels that 'might' be bad. Primarily inflammation. Not steroid use per se.
