How High Cholesterol Causes These Unrelated DiseasesWhen we talk about high cholesterol, it is usually in terms of it causing coronary artery disease, heart attacks, and strokes.

A new study authored by a large multinational team of researchers has just appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and reveals that high cholesterol can also put you at risk of a very different disease.

One that’s even more serious than cardiovascular disease, although never discussed in connection with cholesterol.

The question that interested the authors of the study was the amazing extent to which some people seem to be resistant to typhoid fever bacterium.

Their bodies seem to have a way of expelling it without being damaged by it, while others get really sick and often die.

After examining 500 Vietnamese people with typhoid fever and compared them with 500 people without this disease, they discovered that those with higher cholesterol had significantly higher risk of getting typhoid fever.

It seemed to be the cholesterol in the cell’s membranes was hijacked by the bacterium so it could enter the cells.

How is this relevant to those of us who live in the western world where typhoid fever is almost nonexistent?

If other bacteria that are common in developed countries also rely on cholesterol in cell membranes to invade cells, people with high cholesterol could potentially be at risk of a wide range of bacterial and viral conditions to which those with normal cholesterol are immune.

The researchers will be examining other bacteria and their reliance on cholesterol next.

The good news is, you can normalize your cholesterol – in 30 days or less – by cutting out this ONE ingredient, you didn’t even know you were consuming…
