Cholesterol has never been proven to cause heart disease. It is made by the liver. The brain is 75% cholesterol. The myalin sheath of the nerves cells are also made from cholesterol. Your issue should be about why is your cholesterol increasing rather than how to arbitrarily lower cholesterol. Not only that but cholesterol can not be measured in the blood. Therefore, cholesterol is not an accurate measure of health and what ever is wrong will be ignored because people focus on lowering cholesterol. Plus, there is no proof that heart disease has anything to do with cholesterol. If you want to know more go to the site: stroke-recover.blogspot.com .
