What is the Cholesterol Myth?
Do we need cholesterol for life or are we conditioned to believe it is bad for us?
Why are so many people and health care practitioners still concerned with lowering cholesterol when in fact there has never been a scientifically proven death from cholesterol in any lab/research/experiment ever?
 
Why is there so much confusion to date even amongst alternative/complementary healthcare community?
 
The Cholesterol Hoax or Confusion is of Grand scale and deserves more light on how 'erroneous' information can become so compellingly convincing.
 
Bottom line: Our body is designed to makes it own cholesterol daily to synthesise stress hormones as well as foundational hormones. We need stress hormones in greater demand in times of stress. If we lower our cholesterol artificially we are in fact meddling in our body's capacity and ability to cope with existing stress.
 
High cholesterol is a symptom not a degenerative condition or a condition from a high fat diet.
 
High cholesterol itself is the good guy that tells our mind/body that it is having a tough time so its role is that of the messenger, and if we blame the messenger we are missing the message and how to resolve the internal stress.
