Among all its other uses, cholesterol is used as a bandaid in arteries. If you have a bunch of cholesterol in your arteries you should concern yourself with what is damaging you arteries rather than a futile attempt to limit the supply of bandaids.

The current jihad on cholesterol is the 21st century version of bloodletting.

What is the function of cholesterol in your arteries? - Sharecarewww.sharecare.com › ... › High Cholesterol › Cholesterol

Cholesterol functions in your arteries as part of the repair process that takes place when an artery is injured through wear and tear. In the repair process a cholesterol plaque develops over the injured part of the artery. The only problem is that if too much plaque develops your artery can become occluded.
