Pittsburg, Kansas | It is surprising how many people cling on to old paradigms. A lot of people still associate high cholesterol foods with high cholesterol in the blood. And there is even disagreement on how much effect there is.
It appears the body regulates how much cholesterol we need. If we don't eat enough, it makes more to make up for our lack of consumption.
If I remember correctly, the body internally creates around 70% of the total.
Immune function and sex hormones depend on adequate levels of cholesterol as does the brain. Yet drugs to reduce it are a multi billion dollar market. Odd. | |
