The effect of cholostrol and how to control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Essential for health: People think of cholesterol as something that causes heart disease but most cholesterol is made by our bodies. It is an essential component of the membrane of every cell & the building block of all steroid hormones like testosterone & cortisol. Low cholesterol may be more dangerous than high cholesterol. The cause of heart disease is not high cholesterol but inflammation. See my comment:.
