Is it 75% HDL or LdL or a combination?

Oxford Academic says..

Brain cholesterol

The brain is the most cholesterol-rich organ in the body and contains almost 25% of the total amount. The majority (70–80%) of this cholesterol is present in myelin, where it fulfils a critical insulating role.

Northwestern Medicine says..

Sixty percent of the human brain is made of fat, making it the fattiest organ in the human body. These fatty acids are crucial for your brain’s performance, so make sure you’re fueling it with healthy, brain-boosting nutrients.

I’m confused..🤔

Unfortunately eggs and bacon are about the WORST things you can eat to raise your cholesterol. Far better is sugar binging, vegetable oils, fried food, and especially grain-based carbs.

Cholesterol production
The brain produces its own cholesterol, which is synthesized by astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. The brain is isolated from other cholesterol pools in the body by the blood-brain barrier.

Damn, I’ll have to stick with my Keto/Carnivore diet then.

Don’t forget that side-chain oxidized oxysterols can cross the blood-brain barrier. Not exactly cholesterol, but still.

Cholesterol is another big Pharma scam. Stations are far more harmful and there is absolutely no link between high cholesterol and heart attacks.

That is why it is considered a delicacy for humans that eat animals. In some tribes it is a delicacy for humans that eat the brains of humans. Sometimes reality is ugly. Actually reality is normally ugly. The greatest killer of humans is other humans. The greatest killer of man in a organized government is Marxism.

That's the theory UNTIL you start getting dementia from the statins and they find . . uh-oh . . that's not 100%. Statins eat away the LDL and the cholesterol is the covering or insulation for the neurons and then things go haywire and short circuited. This is happening to a friend of mine but he won't stop the stains. Eventually he'll have dementia.
