Isn’t the healthiest cure for high cholesterol levels simply to become vegan? Why is this never mentioned?
I see advertisements on TV about prescription drugs that purport to lower cholesterol levels, as well as medications that can be taken with food to block the absorption of saturated fat and reduce the presence of cholesterol in the body. From what I’ve heard, there are some considerable, negative side effects to this all, one example being liver damage.
So, I looked up what the high cholesterol and high saturated fat foods are. From what I can tell, nearly all of them are animal products (egg yolks, animal organs, butter, etc.).
I’ve never seen anything in the news media, though, about this. I would think it’d be pretty obvious that the easiest way to avoid a high cholesterol condition is to simply (duh?) avoid eating food that’s bad for you like animal products.
So my questions are these:
- Am I accurate in saying that most high cholesterol foods are animal based?
- Why is there so little said about the benefits of a vegan diet to remedy this condition?
