Who needs cholesterol anyway?
Over the years, the diagnostic threshold of high cholesterol has lowered, making millions more people eligible for cholesterol lowering drugs.
LDL cholesterol that is too low is associated with higher deaths from infection and higher deaths from cancer.
Lower cholesterol lowers circulating lymphocytes, fewer CD8+ cells, and fewer T cells.
Cholesterol is present in every cell of the body, involved in the production of Vit D, sex hormones, and production of bile acids.

And the reason we lower cholesterol is to lower the risk of heart attacks? Hmmm, are you on board with this thinking 🤔
