now what is what is Dr Burke talking

about now eggs and butter actually

helping your cholesterol profile how can

that be now of course if you have

familial hypercholesterol anemia which

is a genetic problem this does not apply

to that sector of the population also if

you are what’s called a hyper responder

this information doesn’t apply but for

everyone else I think it does apply and

just hear me out so let’s first talk

about the egg yolk the egg yolk has one

of the highest sources of cholesterol

mobilizing nutrients number one choline

okay and number two lecithin both of

these compounds help you mobilize

cholesterol out of the body and the

thing you need to know about eggs for

example is that one egg gives you

roughly about 186 milligrams of

cholesterol but you have to also realize

that your body makes cholesterol it

makes a lot it makes like 3 000

milligrams of cholesterol every single

day so if we look at 3 000 milligrams

and 186 milligrams there’s a big

difference between those two and in that

egg yolk Mother Nature has provided the

mobilizers of cholesterol and I’m going

to put a lot of data Down Below in

studies but dietary cholesterol which

means the amount of cholesterol you’re

eating is not associated with increasing

your cholesterol and that’s kind of a

counterintuitive but that’s just a fact

also there is no study that shows that

consuming eggs negatively affect your

cardiovascular system yet in one study

which is a pretty interesting study it

was talking about the two phytonutrients

in egg yolks lutein and zeaxanthin which

happen to improve the cholesterol

profile in the carbohydrate restrictive

group so they looked at people on a low

carb diet and how their cholesterol was

altered when eating eggs they showed a

lower oxidative cholesterol reading they

also showed higher levels of the type of

LDL that doesn’t create a problem in

your arteries and this is basically

differentiating the two types of LDL and

the particle size okay so you have the

large buoyant LDL and you also have the

small dense LDL in the group that

restricted their carbohydrates there is

a much better LDL profile that supports

healthy arteries and the other thing

that I found interesting about the study

they talked about lutein and zeaxanthin

those two phytonutrients are better

absorbed in eggs than they are in plants

which made me wonder about what about

all the phytonutrients in beef would

that be better absorbed well apparently

there’s not any studies done on that and

I’ll have to possibly do that study

later on sometime but the point is that

animals you know eat plants and they get

these phytonutrients and if we eat the

animals we indirectly get the benefits

of some of these phytonutrients and the

added benefit of just better absorption

as well the other interesting thing

about egg yolks is that they’re a good

source of vitamin K2 which protects the

heart it keeps the calcium for building

up in the arteries okay it drives the

calcium into the bone so as far as a

food that supports your heart and your

cholesterol eggs are right at the top of

the list now let’s talk about butter

okay now I’m talking about butter from

cows that are grass-fed grass finished

not the typical grain-fed cow milk but

the grass-fed which is a whole different

thing and if you can actually

find butter that’s cultured that would

be even better because now we’re getting

a product with an added benefit of good

bacteria first of all butter and these

microbes greatly have an influence over

your cholesterol your own microbes make

bile salts which help to mobilize

cholesterol bile salts are involved in

the primary regulation of cholesterol

from the liver and your microbiome make

this secondary type of bile but anytime

you consume probiotics or foods with

microbes like the cultured butter

chances are you’re going to help your

cholesterol profiles but I just could

not find any studies on cultured butter

and cholesterol but I do know the

importance of consuming foods that are

fermented or enriched with microbes

butter also is a good source of vitamin

K2 which is great for the heart if it’s

grass-fed vitamin K2 was called The X

Factor inductor Price’s evaluation on

traditional foods and fermented foods

butter is also great for anyone going

through menopause because it contains

cholesterol that can really Supply the

raw material for making sex hormones and

I’m not just talking about estrogen and

progesterone I’m also talking about

other hormones like progesterone as well

as cortisol about key hormone that helps

you with stress if someone going through

menopause is trying to go on a low-fat

diet they’re going to have a hard time

with these hormones and so just to

remind you for the hundredth time

cholesterol is needed to make these

hormones

cholesterol is needed to make vitamin D

cholesterol is needed to support all the

cell membranes cholesterol is needed for

your brain and cholesterol helps your

immune system cholesterol is needed to

make bile salts which is very very

important and so this is why your liver

makes so much cholesterol it’s needed

I’m going to list down below a study

that was done it was a randomized

control study that showed that butter

actually increased your LDL and another

study that shows there is a neutral

effect or association between butter

cardiovascular disease and butter and

diabetes I’ll also include a link Down

Below on the relationship between

beta-carotene and lowering your

cholesterol and if you’re consuming

butter from grass-fed cows you’re

getting a lot of beta-carotene and you

would see the color of butter being more

yellow than white if it was loaded with

beta-carotene but butter also has

several other things that are very very

beneficial official for your cholesterol

profile one is called CLA and CLA has

been known to decrease cholesterol

decrease inflammation help you lose

weight and it stands for conjugated

linoleic acid the word conjugated just

basically means combined with a protein

and then butter also has butyric acid or

butyrate and this is a small chain fatty

acid that also has the potential to

lower cholesterol and it’s used to help

fuel the colon cells so it’s great to

decrease inflammation in your colon It’s

also been known to support leaky gut and

it helps to prevent the absorption of

cholesterol in your intestines which is

interesting grass-fed butter also

contains omega-3 fatty acids that can

also have an effect on cholesterol and

there’s some great research on ghee

which is clarified butter they’re

removing the solids out of the milk and

having just the pure butter fat and its

effect on lowering cholesterol which is

also very interesting exercise can also

help you lower cholesterol and if you’re

concerned about your cholesterol and you

have high cholesterol and you want some

additional things to do I’m just going

to Rattle off a few things that you can

start taking niacin can significantly

lower cholesterol NATO kinase is another

remedy that can help lower cholesterol

red yeast extract is another remedy

which can mimic sentence and my favorite

bile salts because bile salts can help

regulate the mobilization of cholesterol

from your liver so in summary I would

not be worried about consuming eggs and

butter if you have problems with

cholesterol or if you’re concerned about

your heart just make sure that you have

quality eggs okay and you have quality

butter now since we’re on this topic if

you have not seen this video on eggs

which got a lot of views I think you

want to check it out I put up right here
