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..šŸ¤”
