The Truth About High Cholesterol: Parasites, Mold & Heavy Metals

Updated: Sep 19

We’ve been taught that high cholesterol is mostly about diet and genetics — but that’s not the whole story. In reality, underlying infections and toxins often play a much bigger role.


Here are some of the biggest culprits:


Chemicals in processed foods & preservatives — these drive inflammation and disrupt how your body manages cholesterol.

Heavy metals — studies show people with high levels of lead are 56% more likely to have elevated cholesterol, and with mercury, that risk jumps to 73%.

Mold exposure — mold releases mycotoxins that interfere with cholesterol metabolism, raising your risk of heart disease and stroke.

Parasites — since cholesterol is made in the liver (a parasite hotspot), infections there can drive cholesterol levels higher.


So if you’ve been struggling with “stubborn” high cholesterol, it may not just be about diet — it could be a sign your body needs help detoxing from these deeper root causes.
