Cholesterol

What do we mean by cholesterol?

A white crystalline substance, C27H45OH, found in animal tissues and various foods, that is normally synthesized by the liver and is important as a constituent of cell membranes and a precursor to steroid hormones. Cholesterol is transported through the bloodstream as different types of lipoproteins, two of which (HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol) are routinely measured in blood tests. noun

HDL cholesterol. noun

LDL cholesterol. noun

Same as cholesterin. The termination -ol is used to indicate that chemically the substance belongs to the class of alcohols. noun

A sterol lipid synthesized by the liver and transported in the bloodstream to the membranes of all animal cells; it plays a central role in many biochemical processes and, as a lipoprotein that coats the walls of blood vessels, is associated with cardiovascular disease. noun

An animal sterol that is normally synthesized by the liver; the most abundant steroid in animal tissues noun

A sterol lipid synthesized by the liver and transported in the bloodstream to the membranes of all animal cells; it plays a central role in many biochemical processes and, as a lipoprotein that coats the walls of blood vessels, is associated with cardiovascular disease.

Probably the biggest health myth propagated by the pharmaceutical industry. The body needs both kinds of cholesterol. There is no such thing as "bad" or "good" cholesterol. The study that was done to test cholesterol as a heart disease contributor was flawed. They tested RABBITS (A VEGETARIAN) and a FOX (A CARNIVORE). Humans are omnivores.
