Re: Re: Elevated cholesterol

In diabetics Ketones excreated in the urine can be asign of elevated blood

sugars.

However if you are following a low carb diet, ketones in the urine are

indicative that your body is burning its own fat for fuel.

Ketones are caused by protein being excreted through the kidneys. I

had this when I was pregnant with my daughter. Unless there are

indications of kidney disease, it is really nothing to worry about---

staying well-hydrated should take care of it.

Also, be aware that the " high " cholesterol numbers are usually

indicative of *nothing*, considering how the researchers skewed the

data in order to continue receiving research money.

>yes, totally agree that it is overblown and marketing BS. Cholesterol is NOT

important, the real issue is LDL/HDL etc. which is mostly fixed genetically. You

can try to influence this all the way you want, but the body will try to push

the balance back to where it thinks it belongs. Trust your body, and not the

Pharma or Food mob..

My LD (low density=bad) numbers started to rise and the ratio to HD (good) was

not optimal. I started taking fish oil caps. and fresh ground flax seeds daily.

And the LD went down and the HD went up. Vegetarians can just use fresh ground

flax seed daily (also red rice yeast) to improve their ratios. Statins have

serious side-effects .

I personally would never take them. My cholesterol imbalances began soon after

hypothyroidism was diagnosed (later found to be caused by Lyme)
