CHOLESTEROL AND
HEALTH
ln humans, animal protein
is
vital
for
health but
such intake
has
unfortu-
nately been associated with the image
of "poor diet", mainly due
to
its
fat
and
cholesterol
content.
The correct
per-
spective
is
that cholesterol has its own
vital
functions,
e.9.,
forming
the cell
wall
(especially
ol
skin and bowels),
the
nerve sheath, the cortex
of
the
brain;
formation of bile acids for fat digestion;
manulacturing
of various
hormones;
enhance
the
human immune system
-
all vital
to the developing young and
adolescent.
ln
fact, the majority (1,000-
2,000 gm) ol cholesterol required
are
manutactured
by
the
liver; only
500-800
gm of
cholesterol
are
from
the
diet.
The
body adjusts the appropriate amount
of
cholesterol manufactured except when
overriding factors prevail, e.9.,
exces-
sive stress, high blood
pressure,
diabetes, smoking, excessive drinking,
obesity
or
even
genetic
factors.
ln
mod-
ern
society, a practicable
level of
cho-
lesterol
is
around 200 mg/100
ml.
ln-
stead of
being
fuzzy about minimal cho-
lesterol elevations and the diet,
it
is
more relevant
to
take care
of
the health,
stress problems and
body
weight
and
to
refrain
from
smoking and excessive
drinking.
