Over the last week received a lot of questions and comments about the stories about cholesterol. Link at the bottom of this article. Once it became clear that not all readers will understand the meaning of cholesterol. Let's analyze the points and in the process will clarify.
Cholesterol - it is a fat-like substance that is present in all cells of our body. It is generally found in all animal cells, but not in plants. In fact, cholesterol - it is not fat, and alcohol. It stabilizes the membranes of our cells, the body synthesizes it from many hormones.
Our body is very easy to make cholesterol out of anything, and yet we get cholesterol from food. Cholesterol we need. But from an excess of cholesterol is rapidly developing atherosclerosis, which can block blood flow in the vessels of the heart or brain. From this happen heart attacks or strokes. It turns out that for cholesterol to be watched.
We all have stories about how my grandfather all his life ate bacon and lived to be 95 years. In the same way as everyone has a story about how someone found a purse with the entire patch inside. They were lucky.
Let's face it. If someone is lucky enough to find the money, it does not mean that, instead of work you need to walk the streets and look for the purse. So will die of hunger.
So cholesterol is the same about the story. High cholesterol levels in the blood greatly increases the risk of heart attack or stroke, from which one can die. But this is only a risk. This means that there will always be a lucky man who will live 95 years.
The lottery and casinos rarely win, but people want to believe, so they are at risk and spend money. In the case of cholesterol for frivolity you have to pay no money, and lives.
Let's further investigate. Cholesterol itself is not floating in the blood. He is there just is not dissolved. Blood cholesterol can be found in the composition of lipoproteins. This lipid soluble compounds with proteins.
Lipoproteins are different, but more important for us two groups: low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoproteins.
low density lipoprotein cholesterol from the liver transferred throughout the body. If a lot of cholesterol, it will accumulate in the arteries and heart attacks begin with all sorts of insults. Therefore, low-density lipoproteins is called "bad" cholesterol.
It is clear that there is also "good" cholesterol. This high-density lipoproteins. They are good because they drag the cholesterol back to the liver. So he will score fewer vessels.
Now let's sort out the mistakes. The vegetable oil no cholesterol. And in the unfortunate palm oil no cholesterol, too. It's all a different story, which is also discussed. If the manufacturer of vegetable oil on the product says that it has no cholesterol, it is disingenuous. I do not like this.
Let's go further. Guess - if there is in Eggs "bad" cholesterol? Not. The eggs have a normal cholesterol. Bad, he will be in our liver that turn into low-density lipoprotein. Our body decides where to put cholesterol. If the body and let vrednichaet cholesterol to bad deeds, then he will limit cholesterol intake from food and limit his intake of some other unhealthy fats, including liver ponadelat "bad" cholesterol.
Ask in the comments is unclear and will analyze further.
