[QUOTE="torchman2, post: 1942119, member: 496570"] Firstly, cholesterol has a protective effect in the presence of stressors, and is the start of an incredibly important pathway. Arbitrarily forcing it to drop is unlikely to have good consequences. Pregnenolone, progesterone, DHEA, testosterone, DHT, are all highly protective. [IMG]http://www.primalrejuvenation.com/uploads/1/2/1/3/12130020/steroid-pathway_2_orig.jpg[/IMG] SECOND, there is evidence to show that high cholesterol is protective against heart deaths: [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20470020[/URL] [B]"Conclusions. Participants with low serum total cholesterol seem to have a lower survival rate than participants with an elevated cholesterol level, irrespective of concomitant diseases or health status." [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15066061[/URL] "Increases in cholesterol over time have beneficial associations in some older adults. [/B]The role of cholesterol changes in the health of older individuals needs further exploration." [URL]https://www.healthline.com/health-news/bad-cholesterol-may-have-bad-rap#2[/URL] "researchers discovered people with low levels of LDL cholesterol, or LDL-C, had the highest rates of death related to cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States."
