Reminder (cholesterol)

A reminder;

Your body does not need dietary cholesterol to make cholesterol.

The liver can manufacture cholesterol from other nutrients, primarily glucose, fructose, and excess calories.

The process begins with a molecule called acetyl-CoA, which is produced when the body metabolizes carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It can even be sourced from alcohol.

The liver then uses a complex pathway (the same pathway blocked by statins) to synthesize cholesterol.

In other words, even if you eat zero eggs, zero fatty meats, and zero dietary cholesterol, your liver can still produce all the cholesterol your body needs.

Enjoy cholesterol.
