What Can Terribly Happened If You Have High HDL Cholesterol?


Shocking results from a new study published in the journal Nature Communications reveals how high HDL cholesterol level (the “good” cholesterol) can cause partial or complete blindness.



How High HDL Cholesterol (“Good” Cholesterol) Causes Blindness

Shocking results from a new study published in the journal Nature Communications reveals how high HDL cholesterol level (the “good” cholesterol) can cause partial or complete blindness.

This is especially alarming since you’ve been given advice for decades to raise it and millions of people are taking prescription drugs aimed at boosting high HDL cholesterol level.

The researchers were examining the consequences of high and low body mass index, waist to hip ratio, cholesterol, triglycerides (circulating fat), and blood pressure when they made this discovery.

They went about it in a particularly clever way by using genetic information to exclude the interference of environmental factors.

Think about it: if you want to find out whether high cholesterol causes cancer, you can analyze the information of thousands of people, find those with high cholesterol, and check whether they are more likely to have cancer than those with low cholesterol.

But there is a problem with this kind of study. People with high cholesterol may not only have high levels of cholesterol in common, but also particular eating habits and lack of exercise.

In this case, how can researchers tell whether the cancer is caused by high cholesterol or by poor diet or lack of exercise?

To get around this problem, scientists often use the genetic variant previously established to cause high cholesterol, rather than high cholesterol itself, to establish a link with cancer rates. Presumably, since people are born with a genetic variant, this excludes dieting, exercise, and other environmental factors from the equation.

That is what the researchers in the Nature Communications study did.
They took the genetic variants related to cholesterol, blood pressure, and the other conditions listed above from participants in two studies, overall, just over 160,000 people.

They then listed the diseases from which each of these people suffered, and compared the two lists with each other.

There were many unsurprising findings, such as that those prone to obesity were more likely to have type II diabetes and arthritis, and that those with high cholesterol were at risk of coronary artery disease.

But the interesting discovery was that, together with protecting against diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, high HDL cholesterol (commonly called good cholesterol) increases our risk of developing age-related macular degeneration.

Macular degeneration is a more common cause of blindness than cataracts and glaucoma.

It happens when the cells that make up the middle part of your retina, called your macula, deteriorate and die. This causes the central part of your visual field to become blurry and later dark.

If these studies are right, it means that you should never try to increase your HDL levels artificially using medications.

The key is to create a balance between good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol, using simple lifestyle changes.





This post is from the Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy Program created by Scott Davis. He once suffered from High Cholesterol so much that he even had a severe heart attack. This is what essentially led him to finding healthier alternatives to conventional medication.

The program is highly focused on eliminating one simple ingredient you consume every single day, an ingredient you had no idea you were even putting it your body.  What’s scary is that this ingredient isn’t even listed on the label of many common food choices. It’s terrifying stuff! So, this system starts you off with valuable information about this one simple ingredient, what it’s doing to your body and what you can do about it. But it doesn’t end there.

The Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy goes on to teach you a wide range of diet, fitness, lifestyle, exercise, sleep and eating tips that will help you maximize your results. More importantly, these tips will help completely clean out any plaque build-up in your arteries.

What Can Terribly Happened if You Have High HDL Cholesterol?

Some weird results about the side effects of having high HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol), came out of a study recently published in the journal Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases. Apparently, improving your cholesterol level by having high HDL cholesterol can drastically increase your risk of one of the most common, serious cancers out there.

Some weird results about the side effects of having high HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol), came out of a study recently published in the journal Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases.

Apparently, improving your cholesterol level by having high HDL cholesterol can drastically increase your risk of one of the most common, serious cancers out there.

The American and Irish scientists conducting the study were at a loss as to why this happened. But as usual, we natural researchers understand it better.

Prostate cancer is ranked on a scale called the Gleason scale. If your prostate tissue looks like normal tissue, it is ranked as one, and if it looks extremely abnormal, it is ranked as five.

After performing biopsies from different parts of the prostate, the doctor adds those scores together for a Gleason score of, for example, “4 + 3 = 7”.

A score of below six is normal, six is low-grade and not terribly serious, seven is moderately cancerous, and eight to ten is high-grade and therefore very serious.

The new study analyzed the medical information of 4,974 men collected by a previous study called REDUCE.

The men in the REDUCE study had their cholesterol tested right at the beginning. They were also given biopsies after two years and after four years.

Interestingly, it wasn’t raising the LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) that increased the cancer risk but raising the high HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol).

In this study, each additional 10 milligrams of cholesterol per deciliter of blood (10 mg/dl) increased the men’s high-grade cancer risk by 5%, while every 10 mg/dl increase in their HDL cholesterol spiked this risk by 14%.

Like other studies, this again suggests that you should not try to aim for high HDL cholesterol artificially using medications. Instead, try to balance your cholesterol diet with good food and lifestyle changes.
