Cholesterol and Sugar

I often times talk about the affects of sugar on the body. Sugar does many things that cause disease processes and age us. One affect that sugar has that people don't realize is elevating your LDL cholesterol. The conventional knowledge and our doctors tell us that if we want to lower our cholesterol then we need to cut the fat and cholesterol out of our diet. This however is not the right approach when trying to correct your cholesterol. Sugar and high insulin levels are actually the main cause of cholesterol problems. Today's society is too quick to give pills when there is a problem. The problem with cholesterol medicines is that once you take them for a while you are stuck on them for the rest of your life because you shut down your bodies natural ability to make cholesterol on its own. Cholesterol is necessary for life and it is a shame that our society is so misinformed about how to bring cholesterol levels back in line when it is so simple to do through diet.
