In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss the question posed by a listener in regards to cholesterol rising during fasting. The data points to a short-term spike in cholesterol and triglycerides during the first 24 hours of fasting, followed by a substantial decrease over the following 10 weeks, when using an alternate day fasting protocol. The implications are encouraging for anyone looking for cardioprotective effects and seeking to lower cardiovascular risk factors.   https://www.nature.com/articles/srep07561 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5486142/ https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1038/oby.2010.54 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23220077/ https://faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1096/fasebj.31.1_supplement.786.30   Show Transcript: www.thefastingforlife.com/blog   If you enjoy the podcast, would you please tap on the stars below and consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
