Cholesterol is the question people keep asking me when I splurge on meats.
I have no ready answer for them because I eat mostly by instinct (except when I'm intentionally experimenting).
How come you folks who eat far more meat than I (not to mention dairy and such, which I don't consume at all) don't have rocks for arteries? Is it due to the fact that what you eat is RAW?
Do non-raw paleo eaters have issues with high cholesterol?
Oh...they also ask about kidneys. too. I suspect because of the Atkins issues.

On the heart disease issue Dr Henry Bieler answered this issue in his 1965 book Food is your Best Medicine. I think Aajonus Vonderplanitz answered the same in his 2 books.
Raw fat, raw protein leads to natural pure blood cholesterol, the way nature intended it to be. Cooking fat and cooking protein gives people corrupted cholesterol like building a house with corrupted cement.
On the kidney issue Dr. Henry Bieler in the same book argued that a simple lab analysis of urine shows the defects of eating cooked protein. Eating raw protein is truly best he says. Eating cooked protein all the time will be hard on the kidneys and lead to destruction of the delicate globules.

i'm pretty sure the bad kind of cholesterol is only found in cooked fats and meats. raw stuff only has the good stuff. correct me if im wrong though. that was my understanding.

I think if you let it sit in the air, and it dries out, then it may not be good cholesterol anymore.

Concern about cholesterol is misplaced; it is caused by a lying scare story.
You can refer those concerned to this site:
