Something else to chew on... non-western med docs will claim that high

cholesterol is not, in fact heredity. It's caused by an over-consumption of

carbs (the ones we don't eat on this diet that leads to an imbalance of

Omega-3 (good) and Omega-6s (bad). <note that that is an over-simplification>

I have high cholesterol that my GP would attribute to hereditary factors.

However, when I followed the advice of my integrative doctor and started cutting

out the carbs and taking Omega-3 supplements, my cholesterol dropped down to a

normal range! I am a believer.

There is a great reference site from the NIH about EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids):

Just some more info to arm yourself with

It's one of the reasons why I love SCD so much- it really promotes a sensible

and healthy diet and, IMHO, the way we are supposed to eat.

My cholesterol is horrible, but quite possibly thyroid related. My

triglycerides, on the other hand, have improved immensely since starting SCD.

They were over 160 pre-SCD. Several months later, it had dropped to 80

something. It was all those complex carbs that were the problem, not the fat!
