Most people who have studied or who are familiar with the topic have discarded the idea that cholesterol causes high blood pressure, yet the idea among the general public that this is the case persists. Packages of food still tout their low level of cholesterol. It turns out, many health experts believe, that it is not how much cholesterol you consume, so much, as your body’s ability to use and discard cholesterol. A body in balance will easily use the cholesterol it needs and discard the rest. This is not to say that cholesterol won’t build up in the healthiest body if extreme amounts are consumed, but amount is definitely not the main contributing factor to arteries getting clogged.
The principle seems to be that it is not so much the individual lack or overabundance of a certain substance so much as it is the overall health and balance of the body in general. We need not fear any thing in natural food, but need to concentrate on getting the body into a stronger healthier state.
