I would disagree that eating exogenous cholesterol is not bad. By radio tracer test, it is found that 70% of arterial plaque contains exogenous cholesterol. The habit of eating vegetables with meat probably stems from the fact that vegetable sterols from such foods as celery tend to de-oxidize cholesterol. Beta sistosterol can lower blood pressure by 17% in as little as 3 weeks! Lower cholesterol consumers, (vegetarians) live longer and get less heart disease. Endogenous cholesterol from the liver tends not to oxidize usually. Certain disease processes such as chlamydia pneuomonia bacteria can cause local cholesterol to oxidize. cpnhelp.org It is implicated in 40% of HD. theheartattackgerm.com We know that oxidized cholesterol is the enemy, as non oxidized cholesterol will not form plaque.
