Here's a solid blurb on the importance of the link between testosterone and cholesterol:
Understanding how the two compounds relate to each other is an area of current research with potential implications for maintaining good health.
Two Essential Compounds
Testosterone and cholesterol are both called steroids because they share a similar chemical structure, and both are also important for many bodily functions.
Cholesterol is part of every cell's outer membrane, responsible for its fluid nature and helping determine which molecules can enter the cell. It's also a precursor for the synthesis of many compounds, including testosterone.
::::::::
that said, our bodies create plenty of cholesterol. It's my understanding that we don't ever really need to supplement that by eating cholesterol but at the same, the point is, we are fully able to handle cholesterol. in proportion, of course.
