A member asked:
Do regular blood donation contribute to the amount of cholesterol in our body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but prevents CAD: Donating blood does not affect cholesterol levels but lowers iron, which reduces oxidative stress & can reduce risk of getting a heart attack by as much as 88%! see http://blog.Lef.Org/2010/07/health-benefits-from-donating-blood.Html.
