Good post. Cholersterol is the "bandaid" that covers rifts in bloodvessels caused by high insuline or lack of vitamin K2 (which is basically found in animalistic fat) High Insuline is caused by our refined sugar diets and create inflammatory arteries.
Also, a lot of food is calcium added,and calcium adds on top of the cholesterol to make "plaque" in the arteries.
Fat and cholesterol is just helping the rifts/inflammation to heal. The real problem is WHY all the cholesterol has to do that job. And the answer is a lot of carbohydrates (especially refined sugar and short chained saccarides), too much calcium and/or too little magnesium. Also too little vitamin K2.
