Hello everyone this is Dr. Whiting and today were going to be talking about cholesterol and cholesterol is one of my favorite subjects because it is so badly misunderstood and today is a very special day for men to be talking about cholesterol HDL LDL high cholesterol functions of cholesterol and so forth and what makes this so exciting for me is I have been teaching people or trying to teach people for years that cholesterol is not your enemy in fax it is so important that your body manufactures the vast majority of cholesterol and it’s in your body at any time and it does so in your liver up to 80% of the cholesterol in your body is made in the liver 20% maybe comes from diet well the reason why I’m so excited is because the industry the health industry the medical industry the dietetics industry has finally started to come around and in an article that appeared on CNN and in other places it has been picked up now admits that dietary cholesterol is not a significant risk factor for heart disease finally how they don’t go all the way in the article they don’t talk about the real cause of heart disease but at least they’re admitting that cholesterol may be isn’t the enemy that we thought it was you see cholesterol has so many functions in the human body it manufactures hormones it lubricates your arteries keep some flexible it forms the myelin sheath around all the nerves in your body something so important that nature make sure that we have adequate cholesterol by manufacturing it inside the liver they have finally admitted in a meta-analysis study of several studies which appeared in of all places for the American Heart Association that dietary cholesterol plays virtually no factor whatsoever in your risk factor for heart disease and this is bittersweet for me because I’ve been trying to teach people this for over 40 years and finally after all the fighting and arguing that I have had to go through with the industry they’re finally admitting that we were right it’s an interesting time and in a way it’s sort of sad because if I think about the millions of people who perhaps were put on dangerous statin drugs driving their cholesterol dangerously low and it was probably for the most part unnecessary you see dietary cholesterol work sort of this way if you eat a diet that’s high in cholesterol containing foods and healthy liver should reduce its production of cholesterol internally to compensate when we see somebody who has a total cholesterol level of 250 or more what we’re seeing in fact is a liver problem not a cholesterol problem not a diet problem and when the liver becomes laden with fat or it becomes toxic than at the end result is that it cannot always do the job that is supposed to do namely regulate of lot wide variety of fats and hormones that it produces so when we see somebody with elevated cholesterol what we need to do is address the liver and we can do so by detoxifying the liver by providing key nutrients to support better liver function and so on and so on and when we do that cholesterol oftentimes comes down all by itself doctors for decades have been putting people on low-fat low-cholesterol diets and the end result is a temporary improvement after which cholesterol levels rise again because your liver is trying to compensate for the missing cholesterol from diet so the only way to control this is to address liver function and we can do that quite easily on we have been very successful in normalizing cholesterol levels.
