How the fuck do people even get high cholesterol, I'm fit and have also been a fat fuck years ago and never had it in high levels. Meanwhile I have other friends who have high LDL and have to go on specific diets

Big genetics blackpill incomin' breh: foods you eat modify a huge amount of gene expression, including different mechanisms relating to how your body processes cholesterol. Most people can induce either high or low cholesterol through dietary modifications, even if they have genetic factors that predispose them to being in either direction. It's just easier or harder for different people in different directions, sometimes requiring far more molecules than others.

Literally everyone can drink milk. Even in the most extremely lactose intolerant regions of the world, it's still only 70-80% of the population. Absolute worst case scenario, which is Myanmar for whatever reason, 1/4 people can drink milk without any problems.
It's a really weird metric for Timmies to obsess over. You know you've really hit rock bottom when it comes to having any meaningful achievements in your life when you're reduced to taking pride in lactase persistence.

There is some debate over whether LDL and HDL actually matters but le studies have shown that niacin in the form of nicotinic acid converts LDL to HDL so you could try that along with diet and exercise but no one on /fit/ actually does that.

Every one of these studies is done from the position of an otherwise standard American diet. It is not the saturated fat which is the problem, but that carbohydrates' bad effects are attenuated by less nutritive oils. Saturated fat is so powerful and good for our bodies that it can amplify the effect of poisonous substances by transporting them more quickly into the cells.

You have no idea what you're talking about and I know you didn't read or can even comprehend what they are talking about. They are replacement studies meaning the only thing they did was replace saturated fat sources with polyunsaturated fat sources and they found improvements in health.
>It is not the saturated fat which is the problem, but that carbohydrates' bad effects are attenuated by less nutritive oils. Saturated fat is so powerful and good for our bodies that it can amplify the effect of poisonous substances by transporting them more quickly into the cells.

We also know the mechanism by which saturated fat raises LDL and causes atherosclerosis, it's not a mystery.

>>77112060
>Zero evidence for this
The evidence is that keto diets are substantially healthier and linked to longevity whereas a diet high in saturated fat AND CARBS is very bad for you. The factor of interest here is not the saturated fat (except for its status as a superfood, really) but the CARBOHYDRATE consumption. Carbohydrates are poison to the human body.

No they aren't. Otherwise you would have posted the human evidence. The only way you could spin that is in studies where people lose weigh and gain the benefits of losing weight, but even in those studies LDL is still going up.

What you should look at actually is ApoB and Lpa

And Lpa is how genetically you are at risk of clogged arteries (you can't change it)

My mother has been overweight my entire life. She has been on every diet you can think of, she has eaten exclusively organic, whole, nutrient dense foods for as long as I can remember. We never ate fast food while I was growing up, she never drank alcohol or soda, she cooked everything in butter, olive oil, or avocado oil. She was on every hot-button nutrition trend you all obsess over 10+ years before they were popular. But she never lost weight, she got diabetes even a few years ago. Why? She has never ever been able to restrict her calories and has always tended to prefer low-carb diets over low-fat/low-calorie diets. You can get obese eating anything if you eat too much
>>
>>77116979
Sorry to tell you, anon, but your mother either has a medical condition (e.g. hypothyroidism) that you never knew about or she snuck junk food in behind everyone's back your whole life. No one gets overweight and then develops diabetes from exclusively eating organic whole foods.

Nobody is saying to only eat highly processed foods. Thats literally the problem. You're pinning what makes processed food ONLY on the seed oils. Which is dumb and going to lead to retards thinking processed fast food cooked in beef tallow is suddenly healthy. I'm simply pointing out that replacing saturated fat sources with polyunsaturated fat sources improves health outcomes.

it's entirely genetic and caused by liver production.
I'm at 293 despite exercising daily, low body fat, drink a shit ton of water, etc.
Before that I was at around 350.
Your max efforts to change cholesterol levels will only result in around 50-100 point change at most.
At which point raising hdl is the only actual benefit. having a proper 1/3 ratio of hdl to ldl nullifies almost all negatives of high cholesterol.

Seed oils are the "highly processed foods," retard. Go watch a video on how seed oils are made. It takes a lot of steps to "process" 98 ears of corn into 5 tablespoons of transparent yellow oil. Surprised you don't know that.
>explain in detail
No, because you are not an honest person. The first research study you linked (I'm not even going to bother opening the rest) is a meta-analysis of prospective observational cohort studies hyper-focused on linoleic acid as a micronutrient. The study itself is only as good as the data it is based on. And I'm sure the data is low quality. Also, you can only extend the results of that study to "linoleic acid," anything else is hypothetical conjecture. Which is why I know you're dishonest. You say beef tallow is bad, keto is bad, eggs are bad, and you link a study on "linoleic acid" to prove that. Not a study on beef tallow or keto or eggs. I'm sure the rest of the "research" you linked is just as useless to this discussion.

Are you seriously implying there was something special about the alcohol and pipes of the past that made them healthy or less harmful?

Yes. And they have better health outcomes than other processed foods like butter. Ideally you don't use fats due to their high caloric and hyper palatable nature, but seed oils have the best health outcomes compared to other fats.
>is a meta-analysis of prospective observational cohort studies hyper-focused on linoleic acid as a micronutrient
....via seed oils. it literally says that in the methodology. What other sources of linolaic acid are there?
>I'm not even going to bother opening the rest
Well you didn't even read the first. And of course you don't care about the amount of data, that goes against your narrative. Ironic you talk about being honest.
>The study itself is only as good as the data it is based on. And I'm sure the data is low quality
Explain how it is low quality.
>you can only extend the results of that study to "linoleic acid
Which is primarily found in seeds and only in the amounts shown in the study is seed oils. And it also replaced saturated fat with seed oils. Again you did not read even this study.
>You say beef tallow is bad, keto is bad, eggs are bad
Yes because they are high in saturated fat. This study showed decreasing saturated fat and replacing it with sources high in linoleum acid (seed oils!) improved health outcomes. This is so simple, just basic reading comprehension and shows you just have zero idea of anything on the topic of nutrition.

>seed oils have LA and butter doesn't therefore this hyper-specific meta-analysis on research studies I never read proves seed oils are healthier than whole foods like butter and tallow and also keto is bad
Seed oils without a doubt have the highest concentration of LA. The study is a meta analysis that used other studies that study the effects of seed oils specifically. Meaning all of that data comes from seed oil studies. I swear you cannot be this stupid. You have to be pretending.
>>
>>
>>77118263
>how fucking stupid that logic is when applied to other things.
And I'm pointing out you "applied that logic" dishonestly, and you're still trying to do so, because tobacco has only been in Europe and Asia since the 1500s. Meanwhile, livestock (and eating whole foods from livestock) has been a hallmark of civilization since forever.
You are championing disgusting ultra-processed oil, invented 5 seconds ago, as a health food, even though more people are eating seed oils than ever and more people are sick with chronic diseases than ever. Seed oils are also just gross. Pour your disgusting canola oil on a piece of toast and try to eat it, you nasty goblin. I'll keep putting salted butter on mine.
I'm not discussing research with you because you don't know how to read or interpret research. Just because seed oils are high in LA doesn't mean this meta-analysis proves seed oils are a health food. The fact you are refusing to comprehend this means you don't care about how research actually works. You're just dogmatic and obsessed with defending seed oils for whatever reason, and that's very obvious at this point.
>>
>>77118290
>tobacco has only been in Europe and Asia since the 1500s
I never specifically said tabacco. I said "smoking" smoking the plant is what makes I bad for you. We have been smoking things for thousands years. We have been drinking alcohol for at least 9000 years.
>I'm not discussing research with you because you don't know how to read or interpret research
You literally cannot comprehend that the data in the study literally comes from seed oil studies, studying a fatty acid only found in seeds, comparing it to people who eat more saturated fat and less of that fatty acid only found in seeds and thinking this paper has nothing to do with seed oils. How did they know the LA improved health? What were those study participants eating? You won't answer that because you know the answer.
>seed oils are a health food
For the 100th time I never said this. I said they have better health outcomes than other sources of fats. Most people are better off limiting all sources of fats that don't come from whole foods due to the calorie increase, but when it comes to using fats for cooking. Seed oils without a doubt have the best outcomes.
>You're just dogmatic and obsessed with defending seed oils for whatever reason, and that's very obvious at this point.
It's actually the opposite. Because you have never seen any data showing they are bad. You just think they are bad because you don't like how they are made and because a Youtuber told you so. You refused to even look at the other studies I posted because you have already made up your mind and won't let anyone change it.

You’re both arguing around the central point which is: industrial farming produces unhealthy food because methods used to maximize outputs lead to decline in the health of the plants and animals used to make food. At the end of the day there is no way out, we’re bought in. Even homesteading is a cope and a larp. This is what profit-driven agriculture looks like and the only way back is much more radical than anyone is willing to commit to

Cholesterol is a matter of energy transport. If you're lean, fit and eat a decent amount of fat, you will have high LDL. It's called "lean mass hyper-responder" in literature and it has no correlation to atherosclerosis. It's why the whole historical discussion about cholesterol is retarded.

>>77118449
You are pedantically overcomplicating things. Fake, ultra-processed foods are less healthy than real, whole foods. If you want to try to come up with 1 or 2 exceptions, feel free. But it doesn't make that sentence any less true.
If you're giving someone a single piece of nutrition advice, it should be to "eat real food." If someone is schizophrenically spamming research articles to say fake foods are healthy, you should remind him to "eat real food." It's that simple.
