[QUOTE="Jinzang, post: 68788, member: 12925"] If you reread what I wrote, you'll see that I said you should be more concerned about your cholesterol levels than the amount of protein you eat. High cholesterol levels can kill you through increased risk of heart disease, low protein levels will not kill you. Of course, it's possible to eat a diet that's high in protein and low in cholesterol. First, high blood cholesterol levels are a risk factor for heart disease. It's standard practice to take a blood sample during a physical and advise the patient to lower cholesterol if it's out of range. This is not some kooky vegetarian idea. If your total blood cholesterol was above 300 wouldn't you take some action to lower it? If not, good luck to you and your family. Second, it's well established that dietary cholesterol as well as saturated fat and trans fats, raise blood cholesterol levels. But because of genetic differences, the response differs from person to person. Some people respond less and others more. If your blood cholesterol levels are in range, continue eating as you have. If they are out of range, the best way to lower them is to cut cholesterol and unhealthy fats, lose weight, and eat more fiber. Once again, this is standard medical advice. A vegetarian diet can be high in cholesterol and unhealthy fats. Dairy, eggs, tropical oils, and hydrogenated fats are all vegetarian. Perhaps your unlucky friend ate such a diet. It is well established that vegetarians have lower rates of heart disease, which is as expected, as excluding meat will tend to lower the amount of cholesterol and saturated fats in your diet. However, I am not saying you should become vegetarian. I am saying you should monitor your cholesterol levels and take steps to lower them if they are out of range. This is standard medical advice. Last, the standard medical advice on cholesterol is not a conspiracy to sell statins. The advice preceded the development of statins, obviously. It's not is if some pharmaceutical company developed statins and then cast around for a reason to prescribe them, they were developed specifically because it was already known that high cholesterol levels are a risk factor for heart disease. There is solid epidemiological evidence that high blood cholesterol levels increase the risk of heart disease and we understand the physical reason why they do. This is established medical knowledge.
