How Cholesterol Works

Excerpt:

Genetics
Some people are genetically predisposed to having high levels of cholesterol. A variety of minor genetic defects can lead to excessive production of LDLs or a decreased capacity for their removal. This tendency towards high cholesterol levels is often passed on from parents to their children. If your parents have high cholesterol, you need to be tested to see if your cholesterol levels are also elevated.

And if some are predisposed to having high levels, then some are predisposed to having low levels. And they may very well need dietary cholesterol. Since Cholesterol is a big money making business, it’s hard to find information to support my theory precisely. I'll post the other information I found about this as I have time.
