Has lycopene been shown to lower cholesterol?

Question

To answer the question of the person who so rudely responded to mine: the intent of lowering cholesterol would only be pursued if the patient being treated had HIGH cholesterol.

While I appreciate all the info about cholesterol theories and myths and homeopathic treatments...my original was question was actually pretty specific, and hardly anyone has actually addressed the actual question I asked!?!??!

Answer 1

Not to mind Razwell. He's in love with the idea that cholesterol has NO bearing on heart disease in a good way or a bad way, regardless of how high you cholesterol is, or whether you are using medicine, lowering it with natural remedies or lowering it with diet and exercise. Don't take his rudeness personally - he was actually relatively pleasant in this case. At least he didn't call you a 'stinky butthole." He most assuredly will vote thumbs down on my answer as he does for nearly all of my answers - and perhaps rant against me with one of his other identies...(sigh).

Despite his rantings, the data do not support his position. Ancedotally, I treat heart attack patients in the hospital - almost every single patient has VERY elevated cholesterol numbers. If you lower your cholesterol to goal then you will see few events and reduced severity of events - and by events I mean, heart attack, stroke claudication problems (blockages in arteries in the legs), and major organ stenosis - like the kidney.

Now for your question - lycopene has been show to be a good antioxidant but does not lower cholesterol per se. Fish oils and niacin have been shown to be effective in regard to lowering cholesterol/triglycerides. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer 3

SWEDISH MEN , WHO EAT A DIET RICH IN SATURATED FAT AND WHO DO NOT HAVE LOW CHOLESTEROL ARE SECOND ON THE LONGEVITY LADDER BEHIND THE JAPANESE BY A MERE 2 MONTHS.

The Japanese enjoy the LOWEST life expectancy in the world.
In 1961 Greece NOT Japan held the longevity record

by the year 2000, animal fat intake in Japan had risen 260 percent since it's 1961 levels. If saturated fat were harmful SOMEONE FORGOT TO TELL THE JAPANESE FOR THEIR ASCENDACY TO THE TOP OF THE LONGEVITY ALDDER DOES NOT APPEAR HARMED IN ANYWAY BY THE INCREASE IN ANIMAL FAT CONSUMPTION

DO NOT BE BU LLS HITTED BY THE PHYSCIANS ASSISTANT


READ DR. RAVNSKOV'S BOOK

IT EXPOSES THIS SUPPOSED EVIDECNE THE CHOLESTEROL THEORY PROPONENTS CLAIM


YOU WILL SEE THEY HAVE NO EVIDENCE

Answer 4

MOST persons who have had heart attacks HAD NORMAL cholesterol levels



THE CHOLESTEROL PROPONENTS LIKE TO MANIPULATE PERCENTAGE STATISTCS IN THE STATIN CLINCIAL TRIALS specifically MRFIT - BUT THERE ARE MORE MANIPULATIONS

READ DR UFFE RAVNSKOV'S BOOK and see how the MRFIT TRIAL WAS A COMPLETE FAILURE


SO THE SCIENTISTS SWITCHED THE WORDING IN THE ABSTRACT TO MAKE IT SEEM SOMEWHAT SUPPORTIVE


READ THE FULL TEXT OF THE MRFIT TRIAL AND SEE THE REAL FIGURES .

A healthy diet is a big part. Stay away from baked goods, fatty foods, carbohydrates and exercise helps enormously.
