Question 9

what causes people to have high cholesterol?

Accepted Answer

Depends: For many it is genetic - you get it from your parents.  Eating poorly can also cause a bad lipid panel:  high amounts of sugar, saturated fat, processed foods and smoking can all have a negative impact on lipids.  Some, however, eat and exercise perfectly and still have a horrid lipid panel - that's where medicines can help!

Question 10

what are the different causes of high cholesterol in vegans?

Accepted Answer

Genetics: As long as no animal products (chicken, fish, cow, pig etc) enter into the vegan's body, the only source of cholesterol is that already contained in the body, and that which is being manufactured on a daily basis by the body.  So, unless you have a genetic condition that causes cholesterol to be very high, there should be absolutely no problem at all with your cholesterol.  I am a happy vegan!
