Yep. High cholesterol is a symptom of systemic inflammation, which is driven by a combination of genetics, diet, lifestyle, etc...but very little to do with the intake of dietary cholesterol specifically.
A high starch/sugar diet will drive up my cholesterol and triglycerides far faster than red meat and saturated fats, but that's heavily on genetics. The real crime in diet is the emphasis on any single food or food group being good or bad for everyone, rather than recognizing that what might be poison for one is beneficial for another. The only meaningful measure is how it affects *your* inflammation markers.
As someone who partakes in a low carb diet, I eat a lot of meat. Pork, beef, poultry, and fish. I don't eat much of any grains, potatoes, carrots and many other vegetables. Obviously, little to no sugar. Taking on this diet, I had concerns with cholesterol. My cholesterol has always been very good. My cholesterol dropped after going low carb.
I don’t know his final decision, no.
I do know that his family is leaving the decision to him, as they should.
I know his mother prefers Tennessee.
I know distance isn’t a big factor.
I know there’s a lot of pressure to stay home (not from family but I’ve been told his father seems to prefer UGA).
This kid was ALL Clemson until recently. It’s been his dream school for a long time. Somethings changed there but I’m not sure why.
I don’t believe NIL is a big factor at all.
