I've read several health books and truly believe in Zone and Suzzane Somer's eating & lifestyle program. Carbohydrates, starches, and sweets that has high glycemic level make our pancreas secret insulin, causing the liver to store carbohydrates as fat. When we don't eat enough healthy fat rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6, liver manufactures more cholesterol and thus, hypercholesterolemia can result. I recommend reading Suzzane's book. Her husband had over 250 points LDL and he followed what the doc said-low fat, low protein, high carb diet and it even skyrocketed. Then, he started eating more proteins first, then vegetables that has low glycemic level for lunch and dinner; fruits and 100% whole wheat, whole grain foods for breakfast; NO CAFFEINE because caffeine stimulates the release of adrenaline and corstisol that increases insulin secretion. You can have decaf coffee instead. If the FDA is right about the low-fat diet of Americans, then how come US has us number one in heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, cancer in the longitudinal study done called Seven Country Study? Read health books and start cooking healthier,walk every day and meditate. Take care.
