The main myth about the high level of cholesterol in the blood has been dispelled by doctors

Cholesterol , which people get through food, is actually not as dangerous to the body as many people think. The probability of developing cardiovascular diseases sharply increases other substances-saturated fats.

Recently, the US Department of Agriculture has ceased to indicate acceptable amounts of consumption of cholesterol-rich products in its recommendations. An analysis conducted by the American Heart Association did not show a relationship between the level of cholesterol consumption and cardiovascular risk, that is, the probability of some serious complication in the cardiovascular system, or even death.

“Saturated fats are largely responsible for the increase cholesterol levels in the blood than cholesterol consumed with food,” said Dr. Stephen Devries, executive director of the Gaples Institute.

He explained that most of the cholesterol that enters the blood , produced in the body itself. When a person consumes foods rich in cholesterol, our body is able to compensate for this up to a certain point by reducing the level of production of this substance.

Saturated fats lead to exactly what is attributed to cholesterol: clogging of blood vessels, impaired blood supply to the heart and brain, increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Saturated fats are abundant in palm oil, pork, beef, and dairy products.
