The Importance of Cholesterol in the Body

Cholesterol is required for cellular, lots of functions. The bad thing about cholesterol within cells is that it is synthesized or somehow acquired beyond a certain cellular concentration. So if my nose cell is building up too much cholesterol, that cell is going to die unless the cell can say, oh my God, too much cholesterol. Let me get it out of here. That's why you could have an LDL cholesterol of zero and suffer no effects. You're not depriving your cell of cholesterol. Remember LDL cholesterol is measuring certain amounts of cholesterol floating in your plasma. It tells you nothing about the cholesterol in your cells.
