Cholesterol

Ketogenic diet and cholesterol, here's why cholesterol is not the enemy

Cholesterol is essential for the body in the production of hormones, in the creation of membranes as well as in the absorption of vitamin D, and it is important to emphasize that when more cholesterol is consumed in the diet, the body produces less. HDL and LDL are not cholesterol, but proteins used to transport it. LDL (bad cholesterol) can be differentiated into type A and type B. Type B LDL is the one that is most involved in the production of plaques and is increased with the consumption of carbohydrates and sugars.
