All cholesterol is good. There is only one kind of cholesterol, and we could not possibly
live without it. But like all good things, we can die from too much of it.
Too much water in the body tissues, for example, can kill a person within hours. This is
why the body has mechanisms for regulating cholesterol, water, and so many other
things.
Your sex hormones and other steroids are made from cholesterol.
Without cholesterol, you�d have no sexual development in adolescence, no sex drive, no
sperm or egg production; you�d be sterile, asexual.
But that wouldn�t matter, because you�d never live past infancy anyway. You�d die young
from stress, because our stress response hormones such as cortisol are made from
cholesterol.
Cholesterol also is the precursor for bile acids, which are important in digestion of
dietary fat.
Cholesterol is a vital component of our cell membranes; without it, cells break apart, and
ordinary blood pressure would rupture one�s blood vessels (seen in people with pathologically low cholesterol levels).
