Cholestral is a general indication that your collagen is being decimated.
The liver detects the collagen breakdown products, and increases cholestral output to plug the holes (kind of like putting “Slime” in your bicycle tires).
Just like with environmental science, there is a group of scientists/physicians that have been pushed somewhat underground by the establishment over cholesterol.
