What Prof Tim Noakes Said About My Cholesterol

In April I had a set of bloods done, including my cholesterol level. The total was 8.1, which made me need some reassurance. I immediately contacted an old CCFm friend, Dr. Neville Wellington, who has a great interest in Banting. I wrote all about what he said on a blog at the time. I had also spoken to Sally-Anne Creed who is the only person to have ever told me, “Cholesterol is a beautiful thing!”

I remember when I was on CCFm and interviewing Professor Tim Noakes on Banting that he said a number of things pertaining to a ‘so-called’ high cholesterol and women. So to get a final opinion on my blood results, I emailed him and got this response:

So there you go. If you are worrying about a high cholesterol and the other numbers are all okay, you probably also don’t have too much to worry about, but do yourself a favour and find a doctor who knows that insulin resistance is what kills.

I do believe in balance with lots of fresh veggies and healthy fats such as avocados, olive oil and coconut products. Free range is best. Do the best you can do. That’s what I am shooting for.

Coconut oil

1 Corinthians 10;31

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Keep the smile going!

God bless you!
