Welcome to Cholesterol and Health


Cholesterol. It's a word that everyone must have heard — but almost certainly for the wrong reason.

Because of the propaganda, you can be forgiven for thinking that cholesterol is a harmful alien substance that must be avoided at all costs.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The truth is that cholesterol is arguably the most important substance in your body.
Because cholesterol is:

  • The major building block for the growth, repair and replacement of all body cells
  • If cholesterol is too low, cell growth is disrupted
  • essential to maintain the integrity of cell membranes
  • Used to facilitate communication between brain and nerve cells,
  • Thye major precursor for hormone production
  • Essential for a healthy and effective immune system
  • Used to make bile acids
  • Used to make vitamin D3 in conjunction with UVB from sunlight on the skin
  • So important that most body cells can make it.

In other words, cholesterol not only vital for your health, cholesterol is vital for life itself.

This website contains some of the best-kept secrets about cholesterol which will explain what cholesterol is and how cholesterol works.

In looking at the harm that low levels of cholesterol can do, it will look at medical evidence which proves conclusively that lowering your cholesterol is probably the biggest mistake you can make.
