Answers:
Do not believe those that say there are any benefit to lowering your cholesterol. Cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease. A study just completed in China found that LDL that was either higher or LOWER than 126 was associated with increased risk of cancer. Your LDL will be in the range associated with a 50% increase. Cholesterol is vital to every cell in your body. Did you know that cholesterol is never eliminated, just recycled.? It is that important. Many studies have shown that increased cholesterol levels are associated with living longer. This becomes more evident with increased age.
