The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
So cholesterol is a really complicated molecule. [...] It is a lipid, so it is a hydrophobic molecule that is synthesized by every cell in the human body. It is so important that without it, if you look at sort of genetic conditions that impair cholesterol synthesis, depending on their severity, they can be fatal in utero.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Every cell in our body makes cholesterol, and almost without exception, they make enough.
But of course, cholesterol itself is vital for every aspect of human biology, ranging from cell membrane function, as you point out, proliferation of cells, growth and the health of cells, are dependent on cholesterol. Most tissues, in fact, really, virtually all tissues in the human body, under normal conditions, are capable of manufacturing their own cholesterol.
