[lists] Re: Re: [Alternative_Medicine_Forum] Studies indicate eggs no longer implicated in Heart Disease

[Guest guest]

In all actuality, eggs have never been documented as causing heart

disease. They have been guilty by association. Eggs are high in

cholesterol but it is highly unlikely that dietary cholesterol causes

cholesterol build up in arteries. Without the help from glucagon, the

body has a difficult time ridding itself of excess

cholesterol.Cholesterol is primarily manufactured by the liver.

Glucagon is a hormone that is produced in the pancreas only when

insulin is stable.Glucagon's job is to send signals to the kidneys to

release excess salts and fluids,to the liver to reduce production of

cholesterol and triglycerides, to the arteries to relax and lower

blood pressure, and to fat cells to release stored fat to be burned

for energy ( lipolysis ). when insulin levels in the blood are

spiked, then glucagon actions are suppressed. So it is the

instability of insulin, not a diet of cholesterol laden foods,that

causes heart disease.Hmm, I wonder what kind of diet it takes to

stabilize insulin?

This is why so many people have a very hard time of keeping their

cholesterol under control even after monitoring their dietary

cholesterol. They won't leave the sugar alone.
