Cholesterol in the intestinal tract is cholesterol, period. Further, cholesterol levels are markers and not a cause of disease. In fact low HDL and high triglycerides are more significant markers than total cholesterol or LDL. And what is the major driver of both low HDL and high triglycerides? It's a diet high in carbohydrares, especially processed grains. Eat real food and stop fretting about your cholesterol levels.
