This video explains how cholesterol is an essential molecule for human life. It is made up of 80% of the cholesterol in the bloodstream, and is used to form cell membranes, create hormones, and repair damage. It is also used to make bile, which helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins and is actively reabsorbed by the body. The video encourages viewers to question why doctors are so focused on lowering cholesterol levels and to accept it as a beneficial molecule.

# Cholesterol – Why it’s Good for You
For decades, cholesterol has been demonized as a major cause of heart disease. But the truth is that cholesterol is an essential nutrient for your body and it’s actually good for you. Cholesterol is needed to make hormones, cell membranes, and vitamin D, and is also important for digestion. In fact, your body makes most of the cholesterol it needs, with only 20% coming from dietary sources.
## The Role of Cholesterol in the Body
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in all of the body’s cells. It is used to make hormones, cell membranes, and vitamin D, and it is also important for digestion. Cholesterol is produced by the liver and is also found in certain foods, such as dairy, eggs, and meat.
## How Cholesterol is Produced
The body produces cholesterol in the liver, and it is also found in certain foods. Cholesterol is made from a combination of fats, proteins, and sugars. The liver produces cholesterol from these components, and then it is released into the bloodstream.
## Defects in Cholesterol Synthesis
Defects in cholesterol synthesis can lead to elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood. This can be caused by genetic mutations, certain medications, and certain medical conditions.
## Cholesterol in Cell Membranes
Cholesterol is also important for the structure of cell membranes. It helps to keep the cell membrane flexible and helps to regulate the movement of molecules into and out of the cell.
## The Bottom Line
Cholesterol is an essential nutrient for your body and it’s actually good for you. It is needed to make hormones, cell membranes, and vitamin D, and is also important for digestion. High ALT is a sign that there is a problem somewhere in your body, and any elevation in ALT should be investigated thoroughly to find and correct the cause. Make sure your body has an ample supply of cholesterol by eating a healthy diet and getting regular checkups.
