you know we’re so concerned about having

this high LDL and high cholesterol but

we rarely look on the flip side and what

are the dangers of having low LDL or low

cholesterol I think you’re going to be

very surprised to find out that there’s

just as many if not more problems with

low LDL and low cholesterol than there

are with high LDL or high cholesterol

I’m going to give you a couple things

that are facts number one your body

makes the great majority of all the

cholesterol 25 of your brain is

cholesterol in fact your brain cells

make cholesterol cholesterol is needed

to make vitamin D cholesterol is needed

to make bile salts to help you digest

fats and absorb vitamin A d e and K and

omega-3 fatty acids cholesterol is

intimately involved in making your cell

membranes so when your cholesterol goes

too low okay and your LDL goes too low

there are all sorts of bad things that

can happen now when I’m talking about

cholesterol I’m talking about

cholesterol that is less than 120mm

grams per deciliter 3.1 millimoles per

liter and when we’re talking about LDL

I’m talking about values less than 50

milligrams per deciliter or 1.3

millimoles per liter when your LDL or

total cholesterol goes below those

numbers you are at risk for quite a few

things number one cataracts which is

pretty wild number two fatty liver

disease yeah you would think the fatty

liver actually would be caused by

consuming too much cholesterol now it’s

actually not true now the next problem

is you’re not going to make enough bile

okay because bile is made from

cholesterol and there’s a whole bunch of

problems that are connected to that a

fatty stool so your stool will float

indicating you’re not breaking down fats

so you’re more than likely to develop a

vitamin A deficiency a vitamin D

deficiency a vitamin E deficiency

vitamin K1 vitamin K2 deficiency as well

as an omega-3 fatty acid deficiency

which can all give give you massive

problems down the road and another

symptom would be constipation why

because bile salts help to lubricate the

gastrointestinal tract another big side

effect of not having enough LDL or

cholesterol is something called

intellectual disability okay your role

intelligence goes down

you also have mood disorders like

anxiety and depression your risk for

cancer goes up your immune system

suffers now that could be potentially

because you’re not making enough vitamin

D you may even develop something called

hyperthyroidism where your thyroid is

working too fast so anytime this topic

of cholesterol comes up you need to look

at both sides and in this next video I

think you’ll be quite surprised to find

out there’s not a lot of problems

associated with high cholesterol mainly

on the low side and I put that video up

right here check it out
