Concerned about cholesterol? You may not have to be…
Cholesterol is a fatty substance produced by the liver. It performs and assists in all sorts of bodily functions, including building cell membranes, nerve protectors and brain activity. It is also important for hormone production and the metabolizing of vitamins like A, D, E and K. Without it we would not survive, yet for years we have been told to be careful about our cholesterol consumption. Now the alarm bells are no longer ringing. Experts say it could be time to stop worrying about cholesterol.
People worldwide are used to being told that cholesterol kills. Too much cholesterol can clog our arteries and lead to heart disease and stroke. The last time dietary guidelines for cholesterol were reviewed and adjusted was back in 2010. At that time, the recommended daily limit of cholesterol was set at 300 mg.
