Some facts about cholesterol. It does cause low adrenals function, and you

need it to live -

 

http://www.westonaprice.org/moderndiseases/statin.html

Thus, low cholesterol--whether due to an innate error of metabolism or

induced by cholestero l- lowering diets and drugs--can be expected to

disrupt the production of adrenal hormones and lead to blood sugar problems,

edema, mineral deficiencies, chronic inflammation, difficulty in healing,

allergies, asthma, reduced libido, infertility and various reproductive

problems.

A study of 121 healthy young women found that those with low cholesterol

levels - below 160mg/dl - were more likely to score high on measures of

depression and anxiety than women with normal or high cholesterol levels.

Normal cholesterol levels are considered to fall within the range of

180mg/dl to 200mg/dl.

 

There is now a compelling body of evidence in both men and women that low

cholesterol is a potential predictor for depression and anxiety in certain

individuals. [Psychosomatic Medicine, May 1999]

Cholesterol is made by the body and is also present in food. Many parts of

the body, such as the brain and the adrenal glands, depend on cholesterol

for their proper function.

By the way, if you have high triglycerides, your total cholesterol is

overstated. Total cholesterol = HDL+LDL+20% of triglycerides.

Skipper -

 

I have high cholestrol (a tad over 200 and am 31 yrs), low adrenals, but I

also have Hashimoto's. How does the Hashimoto's contradict the study of low

cholestrol and low adrenals. Just wondering, if you know. ???
