hey guys dr. Burke here I have a

question for you why does the body make

3,000 milligrams of cholesterol every

single day because cholesterol is

considered a real bad thing right why

does your body make 3,000 milligrams a

day

in fact the liver makes 2,000 milligrams

a day the rest of the cells make a

thousand if it’s so bad why does your

body make so much this is a question

that you should ask your doctor as well

it’s because cholesterol has a purpose

the purpose of cholesterol is to make

hormones it’s a precursor to that it

also helps you make vitamin D it helps

you make bile to help you digest fats it

also helps the nervous system in the

brain and all the cells are lined with

cholesterol it helps make the stress

hormones

okay so 3,000 milligrams of cholesterol

that’s equivalent to about a pound of

butter that’s equivalent to about 300

strips of bacon or 14 eggs so what

happens when you cut your cholesterol

down as your body mix more okay if you

eat more your body makes less my

cholesterol right now is roughly about

about 150 160 okay it’s pretty good and

I do about 3 to 4 eggs a day I do bacon

I do a lot of fats I do butter I’m not

saying you have to do that but I’m just

telling you that really what causes the

bad cholesterol is the refined

carbohydrates and I’m not saying that

fruit will do it or vegetables will do

it I’m talking about the sugars okay the

sugars I don’t know if you knew that but

if you did know that that is the fact

your cholesterol your bad cholesterol

LDL and your triglycerides if you have a

problem with that that’s coming from too

much sugar in the diet

it can also come from the refined

carbohydrates like the breads and stuff

is well pastas and cereals and things

like that if you don’t believe me cut

those out for one month go back and get

a test it’ll come down real nicely ok so

those are the two points I wanted to

make about cholesterol
