The only bad cholesterol is oxidized cholesterol. HDL and LDL are actually the same. The only difference is that LDL is going out to your cells via the arteries whilst HDL is going back to your liver for recycling. When LDL is higher it means that there is something wrong in your body and so it's being mobilized to go heal something. <BR/>You would think that if cholesterol was such an evil villain it would be sent to your kidneys for removal. But because it is so vital for health that your body must recycle it instead. Oxidized cholesterol is formed when oxidized fats are eaten. Whenever you eat cook, bake or fry anything made from a vegetable oil that has no saturated fat it will oxidize. In fact a lot of these oils are already oxidized on the store shelf due to how it's processed. Oxidized oils form free radicals in your system which can cause cancer and auto-immune diseases such as arthritis. Oils such as canola, corn and soy fall into this category and should be avoided altogether because they are imbalanced in their omega 6 to omega 3 ratio as well. The name Canola, stands for Canadian Oil, which was the company to first hybridize the Rape seed from which it is made. It's highly processed and not good for your health at all. Olive oil is best eaten raw on your salads or used to lightly sauté foods because it too will oxidize when heated.<BR/> The best oils to cook with are Coconut and Palm oils which are high in saturated fat and very stable so they won't oxidize when heated. Coconut oil has some very healthy attributes to it as well. It has a substance in it called Lauric acid which is anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial in nature. Palm oil has one of the highest concentrations of vitamin E and Beta carotene of any food. It also has saturated fat so it's good for cooking as well. I use a combination of the two with raw butter from grass-fed cows when I cook and it's delicious!! <BR/>Good Luck with your health!<BR/>Recovering Vegetarian/Bert Grosmancavemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10397293726682140140noreply@blogger.com
