Wide range: Most of the cholesterol in our bodies is made by us because chol. is an essential component of our cell walls, brains, building block for many hormones etc. Few doctors realize that chol. does NOT cause heart disease! As we age those with higher chol. levels live longer with less heart disease and strokes than those with low levels! See https://tinyurl.com/y8rars9k and http://tinyurl.com/axtab4d
