Cholesterol Is Not Only Beneficial for Your Body?It's Absolutely Mandatory
 

"...eating fat is essential to good health, and that the saturated fats, as found in meat, cheese, cream and eggs, are the whole fats in whole foods that are essential for good heath"

Old news.

Indeed :thumbsup yet the newspapers still go on about Statins :2 cents:

You have to wonder how many of the recent rash of "Food Allergies" are actually from hybrid seeds, chemicals, pesticides, etc.

absolutely totally agree. For males. The relationship between testosterone and cholestoral is bio-chemically significant.

For Women, the jury is still out and it's better to be cautious and monitor.

Cholesterol is a steroid.

Everyone was on this egg white thing for a long time, because they've had it drilled into their heads that all cholesterol is bad -- but the best parts of the egg are in the yolk.

A lot of people didn't get the memo.

Glad to see someone on here is versed in a little bio-chem!

They still do have it drilled into their heads unfortunately. Ill keep doing my thing while they take pills to stay alive.

How come saturated fats are mandatory and essential for good health? Some short answer besides the video would be great.

And anyways, much of the fat saturation happens when food is processed. Somehow I don't see this as a essential thing for your health. Your own body produces the essential amount of cholesterol.

There you go.

"Most ingested cholesterol is esterified, and esterified cholesterol is poorly absorbed. The body also compensates for any absorption of additional cholesterol by reducing cholesterol synthesis.[9] For these reasons, cholesterol intake in food has little, if any, effect on total body cholesterol content or concentrations of cholesterol in the blood."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol

Eating much of that saturated fat just leaves your own body's synthesis to shut down more or less, untill your cholesterol levels starts to rise if you eat enough that saturated fat.

Was there something in my post that made you think I didn't already know that? Test is a steroid too, FYI.
