Plant Positive's video: 22 Cholesterol Confusion 5 Cholesterol Is Necessary for Life

Cholesterol confusionist and Weston Price Foundation blogger Chris Masterjohn wants you to believe that if you don't eat fatty animal foods you'll be cholesterol-deficient and suffer serious health problems as a result. This is nonsense. Your body can easily make whatever cholesterol it needs. But Masterjohn's disingenuous argument does raise an interesting question: How low can cholesterol go before problems arise? In this video, you'll see that the people whose genes give them extraordinarily low cholester-ol levels mostly manage just fine. Your cells are very good at regulating how much cholesterol they take in. They need to be. Too much cholesterol would be toxic for them.
