cholesterol question

John said:

If a person with normal cholesterol levels that are achieved by diet and
exercise suddenly eats a heavy meal that is rich in cholesterol will that
person show a higher cholesterol level in their blood test the next day if
that person goes to their Dr.?

I'm just wondering about the cause/effect of cholesterol and how fast a
negative change in diet will begin to show up in bloodwork. Thanks, John

No. But if you eat a high carb diet for a few weeks you may see a
difference.

25 Eggs A Day - No Cholesterol Problems

There are several versions of a document involving the medical study of
an elderly man who ate a diet of only eggs.... 25 eggs per day - usually
hardboiled.

This man had no abnormal blood cholesterol problem. So it is claimed.

Here is a University of Florida link to the information.

When I looked into this several years ago, there were several links to
such articles from University Physiology classes, which used the article
as a part of their cholesterol vs metabolism discussions.

The frequent claim is that cholesterol is largely broken into smaller
molecules in the stomach and small intestine, and therefore ingested
cholesterol doesn't automatically enter the bloodstream from the
stomach/intestine (simple eating).

Insulin must be taken as an injection, because insulin is also broken
into smaller molecules in the stomach and small intestine. Ingested
insulin doesn't effectively directly enter the bloodstream.

Some componenets of cholesterol can be impacted very quickly. It's
well known that LC leads to a sharp reduction in triglycerides for most
people. Going off low carb will reverse that very quickly, certainly
within a few days, which will lead to both higher triglycerides and
higher total chol, since that is one component. Also, consuming lots
of alcohol will have the same effect. My triglycerides were through
the roof when I had them checked one time on a Monday after a weekend
where I did an exceptional bit of drinking.
