Cholesterol Revealed

Well, there are so many….
Many of the hormones in our body are made from cholesterol, including sex hormones (estrogen, testosterone), stress hormones (cortisol), and hormones in charge of mineral regulation (aldosterone), to name a few.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steroid_hor…
Some vitamins, like vitamin D, is also made from cholesterol.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D#S…
Cholesterol is also an important component of bile, which is needed for the digestion of fatty foods.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bile
Hope this helps.

In a overall healthy 26 year old FEMALE, having chest soreness, not pains, just all over soreness for over 2 months, could that be heart issues? She is going to the doctor July 3rd…she had insurance issues that were really messy, but are finally clearing up.
At any rate, she quit smoking around this time as welll. The chest issues started a couple weeks after quitting. Also, if you push on her chest, the pain is worse. It is a little scary.
Does anyone know the odds of this being heart related? Also, any other suggestions of what this could be?
Not looking to diagnose her, just eeze her mind til she can get into the doctor.
Anyone know what she can expect at teh dr?
Thanks.

I don’t really think extra details are needed. Obviously I am eating some fruit like Grapefruit etc. Any other suggestions?

i was reading through some census that the first disease that people die of in the united states is heart disease.At the same time i read somewhere that people with this disease dont allow spirituality in their lives to happen what do you think?

I am a bit confused because I know that people with high cholosteral should consume monosaturated and polysaturated fats to raise good cholosteral; however these foods also contain sauturated fat and sometimes cholesteral as well. For ex, salmon, chicken, peanut butter. Should I not eat this foods? I’m confused. How much saturated fat and cholesteral should I consume in a day?

How do I get it checked?
How many times a year/month?
Both of my grandfathers died of heart-attacks.

it doesnt happen everyday but usually when i am about to sleep, I suddenly become awake and my heart beats very fast. I am fed up with it. do i have some kind of illness?

?

I have had 2 teeth inside my gum which flares with vicious infections from time to time over the years. Now lately I keep getting ear infections with puss and blood and chronic neck pain. What do you think it is and what should I do?

At NO AGE.
There is A LOT of money being made perpetuating the cholesterol MYTH
Get your fasting blood sugar, , blood pressure, homocysteine, nitric oxide levels looked at.
The greatest tragedy of the perpetuation of the cholesterol MYTH is that it DIVERTS valuable scientific attention and precious research funds from finding the REAL CAUSES of coronary artery disease.
You should look into Dr. Uffe Ravnskov, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick and the 80 scientists from THINCS who are warning the public that the anti cholesterol theory is scientifically unfounded.
