The latest cholesterol guidelines for the normal levels and treatment
are followed and adopted by some people who are aware of the fact that
cholesterol is not a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases unlike many
organizations. Other people believe that the recent studies give out the
exact details and guidelines for the treatment
of cholesterol. People believing that lower cholesterol levels
are only better have come down considerably.
For the past four decades, it has been shown that lower cholesterol levels
of 150 mg/dl is good and statin drugs are used for lowering the cholesterol
levels. Cholesterol has been deemed to be bad and hence consumption of
cholesterol-rich food is also shrinking considerably.
But the other side of the argument also exists which questions the theory
of lower is better. These people are the ones who have discovered the
truth of cholesterol. In reality, cholesterol is the precursor of sex
and adrenal hormones, an ingredient for the production of vitamin D using
sunlight and is essential for the normal functioning of cells in the body.
Cholesterol lines each of our body cell.
