Without cholesterol you would die. 75% of the cholesterol used by the body is made in the liver. Lowering cholesterol in the body may have dangerous effects.
Cholesterol is the ingredient for hormones and is very important for grow and aging and just day by day functioning.
Low Total Cholesterol and Increased Risk of Dying: Are Low Levels Clinical Warning Signs in the Elderly? Results from the Italian Longitudinal Study on Aging. In 2003, the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society the elderly with low total cholesterol levels.
Cholesterol is an essential structural component of animal cell membranes that is required to establish proper membrane permeability.
Cholesterol is the precursor molecule in several biochemical pathways.
In the liver, cholesterol is converted to bile, which is then stored in the gallbladder. Bile contains bile salts, which solubilize fats in the digestive tract and aid in the intestinal absorption of fat molecules as well as the fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K.
Cholesterol is an important precursor molecule for the synthesis of vitamin D (which controls BSL and BP) and the steroid hormones, including the adrenal gland hormones cortisol and aldosterone, as well as the sex hormones progesterone, estrogens, and testosterone, and their derivatives.
Cholesterol works to ensure the integrity of the “myelin sheath.”
Cholesterol-lowering drugs decrease CoQ10 levels within the heart. This essential nutrient serves as an energy producing molecule and is crucial to proper cardiovascular function. Without it, the heart fails. Congestive heart failure is the outcome.
“Notice please that LDL and HDL are lipoproteins — fats combined with proteins…
Fatty substances therefore must be shuttled to and from our tissues and cells using proteins.
In fact we now know there are many types of these fat and protein particles. LDL particles come in many sizes and large LDL particles are not a problem. Only the so-called small dense LDL particles can potentially be a problem, because they can squeeze through the lining of the arteries and if they oxidize they can cause damage and inflammation…
Also, some HDL particles are better than others. Knowing just your total cholesterol tells you very little. Even knowing your LDL and HDL levels will not tell you very much.”
Cholesterol body’s attempt to stablise arterial damage from oxidation.
Arteries are damaged by heavy metal toxicity, pestercide ingredients such as dioxin, fungal infection, sugar and milk combinations leading to a fungal condition inside the body and a compromised immune system, animal fats and plant oils which decrease oxygen and absorption.
Contributing factors for artery disease
•Plant oils and animal fats
•Eating lots of sugar and milk, custards, icecream etc
•Eating foods cooked in oils at high temperatures
•A sedentary lifestyle
•Smoking
•Emotional stress
Inflammation leading to heart & artery disease is typically the result of nutritional deficiencies and poor lifestyle habits.
“Lipitor, once the world’s biggest selling drug – peaking at annual sales of more than $9 billion and with lifetime sales of more than $131 billion – is expected to generate about $3 billion in sales in 2015, according to a report by AARP’s Public policy Institute.”
