Dr. Norwitz’s Surprising Cholesterol Experiment
Fad diets and strict eating rules are everywhere, but Dr. Norwitz’s experiment challenged common beliefs. Instead of raising his cholesterol, adding carbs to his high-fat diet led to an “18 percent drop” in LDL levels.
The Science Behind It
He explained that “the regulation of cholesterol synthesis by the liver is influenced by dietary intake.” The carbs he added “dominated over the insane amounts of cholesterol” he was eating.
Key Takeaway
His experiment suggests that balanced nutrition plays a crucial role in cholesterol management. Would you try a food challenge like this?
