“High-polyphenol olive oil consumption significantly reduced oxidized LDL cholesterol and increased total antioxidant capacity. These changes were greatest in participants who were at high risk for cardiometabolic disease due to their high waist circumference.”

“How does red meat affect heart health? A meta-analysis of 24 randomized controlled trials finds that eating ≥0.5 servings of red meat per day has no negative effect on blood lipids, lipoproteins, and blood pressure over a short period of time (2–32 wk).”

“The therapy was tested in mice and within days than half of the liver cells had been genetically edited and the mice showed 35% to 40% less cholesterol in the blood.”

“People whose eating habits most closely matched the healthier versions of these diets tended to have lower triglycerides, higher HDL cholesterol, and lower levels of an inflammation marker. LDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol did not clearly differ across the dietary patterns.”

“Second, it supports steroidogenesis, the body's process of producing testosterone within the testes, by enhancing cholesterol transport into mitochondria—where it's converted into testosterone. Some evidence also suggests it may have mild selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) activity.”

“Randomized controlled trial finds that obese women that did intermittent fasting (24 hrs) and ate 30% less food (caloric restriction) for 10 weeks lost more fat mass, had improved triglycerides and decreased LDL cholesterol compared to women that only fasted or only did caloric restriction.”

“However, a new study in mice indicates that a cholesterol-like molecule present in breast milk may protect against cerebral palsy. Mice administered breast milk were protected from the harmful effects of white matter losses.”

“Older endurance cyclists in their 50s to 70s maintained muscle mass, had healthy cholesterol levels, low body fat, and their immune systems looked 30 or more years younger. The study suggests that lack of exercise, and not simply just aging may lead to immune function decline.”

“Omega-3s had captured the interest of scientists in the United States, too, including Dr. William ("Bill") Connor, a pioneer in the fields of lipid nutrition, cholesterol metabolism, and atherosclerosis.”
