Cheese could actually CUT cholesterol and be GOOD for your heart.

I think we need to be careful with this study. The study comes from Japan.

American cheese is somewhat different than many cheeses in other parts of the world. I think we need to have pasturized cheeses or at least from pasturized milk. I know raw is not an option due to FDA rules.

So while I am a cheese lover, I would have to wonder if this applies to the cheese that we are allowed, by our all powerful rulers, to actually eat.
 
Yay. I love cheese. Details at the link:
This doesn't surprise me. People on the average in Japan live longer than we do. Probably the cheese manufacturers don't pay enough here in the U. S. to the corporate mafia so they are demonized. I'd rather eat cheese than take a covid shot.
Thanks Doc.

Thanks for sharing! We, or at least scientists, knew for a long time that saturated fats in dairy may be beneficial for you. Myth was debunked a long time ago that all saturated fats are bad for you; they aren’t and I wish more were aware of this. I never knew that dementia is impacted by the fats we eat - interesting, is this a new discovery?

It is not my field of study, but was still hearing some about it over a decade ago, and fairly regularly since about 2015.
I'm of the mind set that most things, obviously not all things, are okay in moderation.
I see joggers with more health problems, than the guy who is 20 lbs overweight, and eats at McDonald's once a week, but takes his dog for a slow 15 minute walk every 2nd day.
Joggers seem to think that its making them healthy, without looking at the damage it does.
Today I viewed the images of 47 people, everything from a slip and fall, worn out knees from a long life of manual labor, car crash, dog attack, tumbling down a flight of stairs, fist fight, pedestrian hit by a car, trampoline tumble, to just not feeling good with no determination of why, and 1 female jogger. The broken bones will heal, i added an auto mechanic to the knee replacement wait list, diagnosed a new case of MS explaining her symptoms, but the not old daily jogger, well she has done so much harm to herself, that she best get used to a diminished quality of life from now on.
She is going to experience a lifetime of issues with her feet, knees, hips, not to mention the muscle problems.
Gym injuries happen on an alarmingly regular basis.

Eat reasonably, go for a walk regularly, it doesn't have to be far or quick, just go for a walk. If your job requires sitting a lot like mine, get up regularly and walk around the room for a minute and then sit back down. I recommend not trusting motorists at a crosswalk, avoid trampolines, don't drive tired, stairs and showers are prime places to fall, trusting a rottweiler because the owner claims it is friendly, and doing a hard 30 minute work out on your lunch break, are in my opinion terrible ideas for your health. If you have any symptoms that have lasted more than 6 months, and your doctor says nothing is wrong with you, get a referral to a Specialist, let us have a look.
Don't avoid eggs, fast food, or a bowl of icecream because someone said its bad for you, just remember that word " moderation ". Treat yourself to an omelet occasionally if you love them like i do, and that quarter pounder isn't going to harm you if you want it once or twice a month.

What I see daily at work harming the regular person, is not what most people are worried about hurting them. I participate regularly in what some would classify as high risk activities. Its not so much the activity, but the way it is done. That quad you love to ride is surprisingly safe, if ridden with a bit of common sense. Sent my personal assistant out today to get us McDonald's for lunch, mmm poutine and a quarter pounder. I openly admit to loving McDonald's food, but don't eat it daily, probably 20 times a year.
It's heading toward ski season here, and soon enough will be the rash of injured coming in because they strapped on the boards. Surprisingly to some people, cross country skiers hurt themselves at probably a 15:1 ratio over downhill skiers.

Now go enjoy your crackers and cheese...but try not choking on it.

You may find this interesting - https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190916-are-eggs-good-for-you

In general saturated fats raise blood cholesterol but dietary cholesterol, not so much.

Eggs raise good cholesterol levels more than bad cholesterol levels, and it’s the ratio that matters which means eggs are good for heart health.

What I didn’t realise is that this effect is more prominent in unhealthy individuals. Interesting because I reckon healthy individuals have a high enough level of good cholesterol that the effect would be negligible.
