Thank you. In case you haven't read yet, you might like this series (discussing its relation with infections):
In the article below, Mito discussed how fatty liver induced by choline/methionine deficiency in lab animals can lower their circulating cholesterol and providing those again normalizes it. Fucose and saturated fats indeed increase its synthesis in liver, but to show up in blood, fats has to be export'd. It might not be as simple as having adequate methyl donors in the diet because some other factor can leave them stuck, such lack of enough magnesium, poor metabolism, inflammation and other good stuff.
- Why Is My Cholesterol So High On This Diet? (check out comments)
- Cholesterol - Wikipedia
"All animal cells manufacture cholesterol, for both membrane structure and other uses, with relative production rates varying by cell type and organ function. About 80% of total daily cholesterol production occurs in the liver and the intestines;[25] other sites of higher synthesis rates include adrenal glands, and reproductive organs."
Not sure if bacterial overgrowth can interfere with the production at the distal small intestine, it might given that the region starts to harbor a lot of microbes but is more susceptible than the colon to their toxins.

Yeah, it was mentioned that it might not be as simple as consuming enough because they have to be utilizable.I appreciate the quote Amazoniac.
After reading Masterjohn's post I get that choline deficiency causes low cholesterol; but I eat 2 eggs, a 150gr of beef and lots of low-fat milk daily, so I doubt that choline deficiency could be my issue.
You also seem to mention how endotoxin could be interfering with cholesterol production. This is something that I was already considering, and I recently started a course of 2 weeks on Erythromycin to clean up my gut from endotoxin.
Is there anything else that I am missing from the links and references you posted? I would appreciate if you could summarize what I am missing so I know what action to take.
Thanks!
There are threads on the foro discussing tests. But it's worth trying due to its safety, even if it's just for the sake of confirmation.I have considered supplementing with Magnesium, but not sure if I would benefit from it. Is there any reliable test to know that?
What do you mean by "How carotenes affect you?"? How does the daily carrot affect me?
- "The Primary Sources Of Acidity In The Diet Are Sulfur-containing AAs, Salt, And Phosphoric Acid"
"The daily intake of fibre in Western countries is in the range of 15–20 g/d; thus, together with endogenous sources, a total substrate supply of 30 g/d for colonic fermentation is considered as probable. The overall yield of the colonic fermentation for SCFA production is roughly 50%, which implies that this process generates around 15 g SCFA/d which are efficiently absorbed (>90 %) through the colonic mucosa (Cummings & Macfarlane, 1997)."

yerrag, have you read this?Is he an advocate for PUFAs? Could that explain his low cholesterol? And how would he make enough vitamin D as well as hormones?
I wasn't commenting on his case, it was in general for those who are struggling to clear the poison.If Chris ate meat he wouldn't have zinc issues. I did not know he was vegan. I see now by reading the Garrett article that he used to be vegan. I doubt then that zinc is a problem for him if he eat organ meats, etc.
