It's not the Cholesterol!

I do not believe cholesterol causes heart disease. Everyone's cholesterol is different, the amount is not very important. It's about the lack of stress. Stress is what causes cholesterol to stick to the arteries when the arteries inflame. When the arteries do not inflame the cholesterol flows right on through without sticking. Food does not affect the heart, it is the inflamed arteries that allow the cholesterol to stick and build up over time.

I am not a doctor, but I do know that often the medical community pays more attention to the symptoms than the causes.

I have known people who ate fat all their lives and lived to be old, but they were also people who were "easy going", not taking things too seriously and not workaholics.

I'm not a doctor, but have had some life observations that seem to make sense to me.

Here's what God says causes a long life, It's not the food, but it is the lack of stress from trusting Christ.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 "7"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD And whose trust is the LORD. 8"For he will be like a tree planted by the water, That extends its roots by a stream And will not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be anxious in a year of drought Nor cease to yield fruit.…"

Psalm 40:4 "How blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood."

Proverbs 3:1-3 "1 My son, do not forget my teaching, But let your heart keep my commandments; 2 For length of days and years of life And peace they will add to you. 3 Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart.…"

Our length of life has little to do with food, it has to do with our stress level, if we trust in the Lord our stress is far less. We have also been given a certain number of days, no more no less, God's in charge of that.
