Healthy cell membranes contain an average of 20% molecular cholesterol. If the cell membranes cholesterol content is reduced the cell membrane becomes weak, leaky and deformed. Cholesterol lowering therapies have distressing consequences way beyond their intended outcomes. The real cause of raised LDL in blood plasma is the glycation (sugar-damage) of the LDL receptor mechanism. The sugar damage prevents organs from receiving fats, cholesterol and fat soluble nutrients. Sugar-damaged LDL is eventually scavenged by less discriminating fat storage cells.
