What causes one to have very low cholesterol and blood pressure?
I'm asking this because my father recently got bad his blood test results and both his cholesterol and blood pressure came out to be very low. But he eats so much steak (he loves red meat), eggs, and other cholesterol-rich foods so it doesn't make any sense. Any ideas of what could have caused it? And how dangerous is it? Thanks.
His total cholesterol is 105 (normal is 125-200) and his HDL is 25 (normal is greater or equal to 40).

Dr Rosedale Exposing the Cholesterol Myth: Cholesterol is not the major culprit in heart disease
Science and Health with Dr Ron Rosedale. Cholesterol is not the major culprit in heart disease or any disease. Cholesterol has only been shown to be correlated, meaning associated, with heart disease. That would be like saying fireman cause every fire just by association. Would you want to chase off all the firemen? Cholesterol never has really been shown to be a significant underlying root cause of heart disease or any disease. Before you or anyone goes on drugs for lowering cholesterol, please do your research first and take your lives and your health in your own hands. Don't leave your health in the hands of the pharmaceutical industry. They certainly don't care about it... only in taking money from you.. The information is out there, not the advertising, but the real science. Most people do more research on their cars than they do on their own precious miracle of life; their own bodies.
