Date: August 21, 2006 07:01PM We eat foods that do not have any cholestrol in it. So my question is, do we need any sort if cholestrol in our diet? Re: Do we need any sort of cholestrol in our diet?

Date: August 22, 2006 04:07AM Fruits and vegetables do not contain cholesterol. Cholesterol is created in animals, and as animals humans are able to create all the cholesterol they need. So we do not need a dietary source of cholesterol. Re: Do we need any sort of cholestrol in our diet?

Date: August 22, 2006 06:50AM Bryan is right, I held false beliefs.
No plant contains cholesterol and we do not need a dietary source of cholesterol. Re: Do we need any sort of cholestrol in our diet?

Date: August 22, 2006 05:24PM Avocadoes are a source of saturated fats, but that is not the same as cholesterol. As stated above, cholesterol is made only by animals.
Your body do need cholesterol as part of the structure of cell membranes, as a precursor in making hormones such as estrogen, etc, but it makes its own. Wishing you vibrant health  Re: Do we need any sort of cholestrol in our diet?
