Just wondering.  Assuming there are no genetic markers in place.  If one is
diagnosed with elevated cholestrol, how long would it take to notice a drop
in cholestrol if one abstained from all meat, fish, and dairy sources of
cholestrol?  How long would it take approximately to rise?

Thanks

Those don't raise cholesterol.  It's produced by your body in response
to excess glycemic load, in the form if starches and sugars.  Further,
your body NEEDs LDL cholesterol; it's what all of your adrenal steroids
are manufactured from.

My cholesterol dropped 100 points within a few weeks of dropping
starches and sugars from my diet and adding meat, dairy and other fats
back into my diet.

More importantly, it's not LDL, but high triglycerides and low HDL that
mark high CVD risks; this pattern is consistent with high carb diets.
High HDL and low TGLs signify that no matter how high your LDL or total
cholesterol are, they're likely the large, bouyant molecules that are
not atherogenic.

That's interesting. I have yet to encounter or hear of a  vegan that has
high cholestrol that wasn't due to genetics. Yeah Atkins. Pooh on
vegetarians :)

Genetics aren't deterministic, they only cause predisposition.  My
genetics lead to horrible dyslipidemia, diabetes and kidney damage, all
of which I reversed by eating high fat, low carb.
