  Lol, so your claim is that people with excessive cholesterol levels require it because they are making more brain…?

  No is claiming you shouldn’t have any cholesterol in your blood, just that there isn’t reason to have an elevated amount.

  If your body actually needed the excess lipids being produced it wouldn’t be saturated in the blood, it would be getting used.

    I didn’t say to eat the cholesterol. Eating cholesterol isn’t the primary driver of blood cholesterol levels. Saturated fats are.
