If cholestoral is so bad for you, how come the body produces it?!


Question: If cholestoral is so bad for you, how come the body produces it!?
A vitamin C deficiency leads to a breakdown in the arterial walls, due to a lack of repair options!. The liver produces cholestoral to plug the cracks, so blood doesn't start leaking through the coronary artery walls!. So why is cholestoral considered bad when it's saving your life!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You've hit on an important topic, because there is some research coming out now, that seems to indicate our thinking on this has been backward;

it is a MARKER for something bad happening, but it's not actually the CAUSE of the problem!.

In other words, yes, high levels in your bloodstream are connected to heart disease, etc!., but that doesn't mean it's causative!.
So, to take Statins, etc!., to cut down on the levels, may be actually harming you!.

And you're a bit off on the Vitamin C thing; yes, SCURVY causes the lesions you're talking about, but that is not 'mild' Vitamin C deficiency, that is ACUTE deficiency!.
Eating too much saturated fats, and not exercising enough is by far the biggest causes of lesions inside your arteries!.

And taking megadoses of Vitamin C has not been proven to help anyone in any way, incidentally!.
