Thumbs up Importance of cholesterol

We cannot do without cholesterol because the body needs it up to a certain level in order to:
 Help the absorption and transportation of fatty acids.
 When skin is exposed to sunlight, cholesterol and other related substances turn into active Vitamin D.
 Cholesterol is the raw material for many hormones – Vitamin D, the male and the female hormones and hormones of the adrenal cortex.

I never knew cholesterol had so much to do with everything that we do! That's pretty weird. Our bodies do so much for us on a daily basis and.. we really don't notice any of it!
