Low Cholesterol Whey Protein suggestions?

[FatButWeak]

Adding two scoops of GNC whey a day (70mg or so a serving) caused my cholesterol to jump something like 50-60 pts in a few months, with no other changes to my diet. I just don't buy the studies that don't link the two.

Maybe it was the sugar in the GNC crap that caused elevated blood glucose levels, leading to arterial damage leading to your own liver producing more cholesterol to repair the damage? Did you gain or lose bodyfat during this experiment? (affects insulin sensitivtiy) Did you gain or lose bodyweight during this experiment? (affects insulin sensitivity) Did the seasons/your seasonal sun exposure (affecting the hormone vitamin D) change during these few months? What other life factors changed during this experiment? All of these things would cause physiological changes to your body that could elevate cholesterol levels.

There is not a 1:1 causative relationship between dietary cholesterol and blood serum levels of cholesterol (other than a short term spike immediately after a meal, sort of like how blood levels of other chemicals and compounds spike immediately after eating a meal containg them). Anyone who cares about health, strnegth and muscle enough to lift barbells (i.e. is smart and interested in learning/improvement) should know and understand this.

Dietery cholesterol means nothing, it's pretty much proven.

And your total cholesterol means even less. You should only be worried about your HDL being low, if it's not high enough, then get worried.
