Everyday consumers get pounded thru the media on "bad" cholesterol. Television networks, radio, and print ads. Its important to consider that the drug companies are big time sponsers of those media sources. TV networks are being paid, and paid well by the drug companies to deliver the message on" bad" cholesterol.
Wouldn't it be great to hear objective information on cholesterol, free from financial conflicts of interest?
Here is an interesting cholesterol fact. One that "they" don't want you to know.

I think you have the roght attitude, and the metabolic increase you get from the diet and exercise will be reflected in your lipid profile.
Think of your metabolism like the flame in a gas furnace. A clean blue flame burns off all its fuel and operates more efficiently. A slow yellow flame fails to burn clean and clogs the vent pipe with soot. The soot itself is not the cause, but rather the failure of the burner to work efficiently.
Its the same thing in humans. A person with opitmal metabolism will process off the carbohyrates, fats, and protien. But a person with a slow metabolism will store the excess calorie intake in soft tissue.
Go for a "blue flame" metabolism. You can do it!
