Follow the label "Nutriton 101" for some basics about nutrition that you'll find you can't live without!
I receive a lot of questions about cholesterol... people are made to believe it is some kind of poison when it is actually a critically important molecule. It is produced in your body for many reasons and serves many uses. The liver produces cholesterol and sends it out in the bloodstream to destinations all over the body. Where needed, it is converted into "Vitamin" D, cortisol, DHEA and other vital hormones. Cholesterol is also incorporated into cell membranes and brain tissue. These are just a few reasons why we can't live without it!
Get this, cholesterol is cholesterol, there is no "good" or "bad" cholesterol, only healthy cholesterol and damaged or "oxidized" cholesterol. Cholesterol's fate may be determined by whether it is carried on the "LDL bus" or the "HDL taxi" but cholesterol is still just cholesterol, not some poison we should be afraid of!
I hope I have gotten your attention! I invite you to read my latest article about your friendship and dependence on cholesterol at AssociatedContent.com.
