20-50% of all your cells plasma membranes are made of cholesterol?
Depleting this below normal has side effects?
There is a delivery and return mechanism for cholesterol to all cells?
There is a homeostatic mechanism that turns down or turns up cholesterol manufacture depending on the 300mg we get by diet?
I didn't either. I bought the whole idea that cholesterol jams up your system like a plumber's clog, and that somehow cholesterol was bad for me despite the fact that my brain and pancreatic cells very much depend on it and will completely shut down without it. I don't pay much attention to my cholesterol intake, but it is important to watch saturated fats (which is NOT cholesterol), trans fats intake, and make sure that water soluble and fat soluble antioxidants, omega-3s, electrolytes, and B-vitamins are topped up for arterial and lipid health. This is not a ticket to go hog-wild and eat a poor diet, since this never helped anyone ever, or ignore the antioxidant building block that is missing in the human physiology. To avoid high blood pressure, it is very important to keep hydrated and get vitamin D, as these two things have a direct influence on the renin-angiotensin system whose function is to squeeze down your blood vessels and increase blood pressure when your blood plasma volume goes down because of dehydration to compensate for volume loss.
