Although nutritional programming of cholesterol synthesis in later life is biologically plausible (13), there were several weaknesses in the data presented in our earlier review (10), which limited the strength of evidence for a causal association between breastfeeding and lower
blood cholesterol concentrations in later life.
Professor Oliver like many experts, believes that the very lowering of blood cholesterol may actually be dangerous: «Very little is known about the long - term effects of
lowering cholesterol concentrations on the composition of cell membrane».
The results from this trial clearly indicate that the replacement of refined carbohydrates with EPRO and UFA increased insulin sensitivity, LDL peak particle size, and lowered fasting TG and
VLDL cholesterol concentrations in men and women with an elevated TG concentrations.
A larger number of published studies relating infant feeding to
adult cholesterol concentrations were available for the present review than had been available at the time of our previous review (17 compared with 5)(10).
While they found that both «diets were equally effective in reducing body weight and insulin resistance» and «reductions in total and LDL -
cholesterol concentrations did not differ significantly by group... several participants following the [ketogenic] diet had marked increases in LDL cholesterol.»
That's true, and in fact several decades before that it was shown that natural thyroid extract supplementation was a very safe and effective way to
normalize cholesterol concentrations and eliminate heart disease risk whether there was any other evidence of hypothyroidism or not.
It concluded four of the randomized clinical trials «did not allow conclusions to be drawn on the effects of isolated soy protein on blood
cholesterol concentrations owing to inadequate methodology or insufficient reporting.»
The value of serum cholesterol determination as a screening test for hypothyroidism can not be overemphasized,
because cholesterol concentrations are a sensitive and inexpensive biochemical marker for this disease in dogs.
A deficiency of Vitamin B3 causes a disease called pellagra but niacin has been used for over 50 years to lower total cholesterol levels while raising
HDL cholesterol concentrations.
The results of this study also show that theEPRO / UFA condition reduced TD and
VLDL cholesterol concentrations and increased LDL particle size compared with the refined - carbohydrate condition, indicating improved cardiovascular health.
For instance, Westendorp and colleagues published a key study in The Lancet showing that, contrary to the widespread view,
high cholesterol concentrations are not a risk factor for heart disease in old age.
In a meta - regression analysis, the mean differences between feeding groups observed in each study were unrelated to the mean total
cholesterol concentrations in that study (P = 0.42).
