I have a high cholesterol diet. This is not something I wish to change.
Would bloodletting be a good enough replacement for specific diet changes in this way? I'm not fat just high cholesterol. I'm looking to make sure I don't get even worse heart issues later in life (anxiety disorder means my chest always hurts) while still enjoying the food that I eat.
If it is, I'll look into blood donation. If it isn't an option I'll poke a hole and let it go until I reach a certain amount per week.
I don't know if that's effective for cholesterol. However if you want to do bloodletting, you should get some medical leeches. They're a painless and clean way to get blood out, you can feed them as little as once a year or much more often.
That or donating blood is apparently the only way to get PFAS out of your system. Thanks a lot israelitePONT and 3CHAIM
Yeah i sell my plasma a few times a month its great for that

I was going to come in here and tell you that you are moronic, but a quick google search shows that some scientists are indeed saying that bloodletting can lower cholesterol.
Also does low cholesterol diet actually lower cholesterol?
Also why are you asking this in PrepHole instead of in PrepHole or PrepHole? Those places would be much more appropriate.
This place will give me actual answers. Convincing me out of it it vindicating my idea. PrepHole is so full of pseudo intellectuals that can't stop sniffing their own farts and talking about genetic inferiority enough to answer something like this. While PrepHole will just call me fat no matter how much I claim I'm not.
From what I've read, cholesterol stays in the blood stream. Very little to none of it leaves the body during digestion. But it's needed to make cells of all kinds, travels within the bloodstream anyway, and blood is easily replaceable under a certain amount lost.
Post body, fatty.

No

The first heart attack in the USA was in 1912. Back then people exclusively used lard and beef drippings to cook with, only with the introduction of seed oils has the number of heart attacks started to rise.
Here's a good talk:
>The first heart attack in the USA was in 1912
>no one ever had a heart attack until 1912 in the US
Likely story. "Low cholesterol" diets usually incorporate the whole pack of recommendations about trans fats and saturated fats that your study talks about. People love to act contrarian on 4chin, but half the thread's opinions actually align with mainstream medical advice, and the other half is straight made up, like how high cholesterol and cardiovascular risk aren't proven to be related.
>high cholesterol and cardiovascular risk
It literally isn't. Cholesterol is high after the fact, not before. Lifestyle and omega-6 seed/plant oils have a lot more to do with cardiovascular risk.

Your body makes cholesterol you need it to live.
Become a vegan and eat oatmeal for breakfast.
I had the same problem, that fixed it.
>Become a vegan and eat oatmeal for breakfast.
Why even live?
>let's just ignore the fact that we are all omnivores
All animals are omnivores. Some leaning towards carnivore, including humans.
>I would rather bleed myself than change my diet
based moron
You could just go on Keto or intermittent fasting for a year or two but instead go straight to bloodletting which won't do anything to fix your cholesterol
I'm in my mid 20's. I don't have any negative effects of high cholesterol yet, I just want to get ahead of the curb on this before I end up eating trash.
Like I said, Keto or intermittent fasting are generally enough to control your cholesterol as long as you don't binge eat literal tubs of junkfood
Really you should do the opposite. Get even more blood so you dilute the cholesterol into harmlessness
There is very little link between dietary cholesterol and blood levels of cholesterol. Also, there is very little link between cholesterol in the blood and the incidence of heart or coronary disease. Most of the studies have said that in patients who have had heart attacks, the levels of cholesterol were through the roof, but there are very few studies linking high cholesterol with an imminent or eventual risk of heart disease.
Look it up. Statins like lipitor are the bread and butter of the pharmaceutical industry.
Highest cholesterol lives longest.
It's needed to make testosterone.
'Low-cholesterol' is a hoax to make people weak and sick. In my own studies of the elderly, those that completely ignored medical advice to 'reduce their cholesterol' faired the best. They ate traditional, high-fat foods along with greens.
Note: my recommendation is totally apart from PUFAs, or industrial seed oils. That method of industrial oil extraction was never meant for people to eat. It was seen as a lubricant and fuel-oil (diesel) production method; EG margarine or liquid vegetable oils. As seniors transitioned into those, and table salt vs whole salt, their health declined rapidly, as a generation.
I think the risks of frequent PrepHole bloodletting are worse than the risks of having high cholesterol at a young age. But if you already don't believe in the regular recommendations about cardiovascular risk and statin/fibrate use, then you might as well not believe the negative effects of high cholesterol and pretend that everything will be fine.
