I have to take a yearly medical exam to keep my job. High Blood pressure is hereditary in my family and I did get a scare on my last medical. Long story short I was fully checked out and I am indeed normal. It still is a worry in my mind though.
All this talk about eggs/steak blah blah blah and how dietary cholesterol does not affect blood cholesterol really confuses me. They say it does not, but what is the reasoning behind everyone with high cholesterol diets ending up with high blood pressure? How can I avoid it while keeping a high protein diet not based on milk/tofu?

i vaguely read somewhere that the link between cholesterol and cardiovascular disease is due to people with high sugars/carb diets, and that it causes inflammation in the arteries... or something to that effect. sorry i don't have any specific article links but i read enough over the past few months to convince me that it's BS. but that's my belief. i'm not going to try and convince you or anybody else here. people should do their own research on BOTH sides of the argument. look at the sources of the information. look at the motive behind the writers/organizations who wrote the information. which studies make more sense? did they conduct their study properly? and look at the information itself and decide what sounds more logical/explainable. then make your decision.
