i want to talk about this white ring that  sometimes you see around the cornea of  

someone’s iris and if this is a dangerous thing is  it what does it mean what’s the significance of it  

mainly you see this in older people in fact you  can probably see this in the majority of people  

probably even 70 percent of everyone over the  age of 80 is going to have this this white ring  

around the iris and it’s called arcus sunilis and  it’s nothing really to worry about it’s actually  

a cholesterol ring what happens as you get  older is your ability to oxidize cholesterol is  

becomes less and less and less and it can start  to accumulate in certain parts of your body  

it doesn’t mean that your arteries are getting  clogged it has nothing to do with that it just  

means that you’re not fully oxidizing or burning  some of the cholesterol and it’s backing up  

in certain tissues now if you see this  in people that are less than 40 years old  

then this is something a little different  it could mean that you have a problem with  

lipids and cholesterol especially ldl and just so  you know i’m talking about those people who are  

doing a high carb diet and high carbs are being  converted into the ldl the bad cholesterol i’m  

not talking about the person that gets on keto and  goes low carb and ends up having higher amounts of  

cholesterol because the type of cholesterol  that’s involved with that is a completely  

different breed and it’s not going to be the type  that’s going to accumulate on your tissues or  

inside your arteries i’m talking about usually the  person that has high triglycerides high ldl and  

they’re on a high carb diet but with the most part  if you are over 80 years old and you have this  

this white ring it’s nothing to worry about  and it’s not something that i would recommend  

as far as lowering your cholesterol  and start eating low cholesterol foods  

but i would recommend getting on a low carb diet  and that way your cholesterol profile will be  

in check with what it should be all right in  summary if you’re a little bit older and you  

have this white ring i wouldn’t worry about it so  if you’re enjoying my content which i hope you are
