Cholesterol good for us: avoid frying

Forbidden Cures (Dr. Wallach)

This sounds crazy. "Everyone" knows cholesterol is bad. That's why the body makes it and makes so much of it and uses it for so many things. The fact is, Dr. Joel Wallach (criticalhealthnews.com) has been singing the praises of cholesterol for a long time. The body could not live without it. It makes hormones from it. If we have too much bad cholesterol, that is almost certainly from bad lifestyle choices, like eating fried foods, rancid oils, dead oils, filtered vegetable seed oils, all of which are very harmful. Fats are good, but know the difference between fats that heal and fats that kill. Good oils real olive oil (a fruit), real avocado (the fruit, not the oil), virgin coconut milk, hemp seed oil (a balanced vegan source of essential fatty acids, Omega 3, 6, and 9), borage seed oil, evening primrose oil, rosehip oil, cacao fat, sea buckthorn, and others. Anything in a plastic bottle exposed to light, heat, or air is dead, rancid, and toxic. Throw it out, and do not eat foods made with it or microwaved. One of the worst things a person can do is take allopathic statin drugs, which lower cholesterol -- which the body is making to save itself, to fight free radical damage, to heal from fried, burned/oxidized, bad, rancid oils -- production. If we avoid oxidized (microwaved, overcooked, stale, exposed to heat, air, light and other oxidizers) foods, instead choosing fresh, alkalinizing, greens, fruits, and things in their natural/unaltered state, the body has many fewer reasons to make so much cholesterol.
