Topic: The Benefits of Dietary Cholesterol

In our modern world, cholesterol has become almost a swear word. Thanks to the promoters of the diet-heart hypothesis, everybody “knows” that cholesterol is “evil” and has to be fought at every turn. If you believe the popular media, you would think that there is simply no level of cholesterol low enough. Americans have been told to avoid eggs, cream and other high cholesterol foods in effort to lower their cholesterol. 

The truth is that we humans cannot live without cholesterol. Come see why high cholesterol foods belong in your diet.

This is part of our introductory series.  Please bring a guest!

What to bring?

Anything from Nourishing Traditions, the Healthy 4 Life booklet or Recipes of the Week would be wonderful.  A simple homemade meal made from scratch using natural fats is always a great contribution.

Some examples include: a roasted chicken or other meat, meat and vegetable casserole, a dish made with soaked grains, soup using homemade bone broth, pastured egg quiche or other egg dish, organic salad with homemade dressing, steamed or roasted vegetables with butter or cream sauce, fermented vegetables, fresh or cooked fruit with raw whipped cream.  If you come to the potlucks regularly, please try to bring a dish from a different category every so often.

Bring enough to share with everyone and be sure to include some traditional fats!

Children and guests welcome.  Please bring dishes and serving utensils for your dish.  Thanks!

Cholesterol, Statins and the Brain? In this session, I will develop a theory that Alzheimer’s risk is significantly increased by insufficient supply of cholesterol and fats to the brain. I will first describe all the ways in which cholesterol plays an important role in the proper functioning of neurons. I will then discuss the series of progressive stages of Alzheimer’s, beginning with oxidative damage, followed by mitochondrial dysfunction, defective signal transmission, insulin resistance, amyloid-beta deposits, and ultimately apoptosis and cell death. I will end with a discussion of multiple biological effects of statin therapy that plausibly increase risk to Alzheimer’s.
