But we need to take a step back and ask cautiously: Does the body always want to get rid of its cholesterol? It produces between 75 and 90 per cent of our cholesterol itself. And that takes a lot of work! One-sided media reporting has given cholesterol a bad name, making people believe it is only evil. That is quite wrong. Too much cholesterol is not such a good thing, but neither is too little. If it weren’t for cholesterol, we would have no sex hormones, no vitamin D, and a plethora of unstable cells.
