Cholesterol is key to learning and memory
The brain has a higher cholesterol content than any other organ. In fact, about 25% of the body’s cholesterol resides within the brain. The brain is highly dependent on cholesterol, but its cholesterol metabolism is unique. Because the blood-brain barrier prevents brain cells from taking up cholesterol from the blood, the brain must produce its own cholesterol. The brain’s cholesterol is much more stable than the cholesterol in other organs, but when it breaks down, it is recycled into new cholesterol right in the brain.
OK maybe too much cholesterol in the blood is bad...if it's the wrong type....but not necessarily! Some high blood cholesterol is there to protect the arteries from hardening or rupturing! The statin cure can be worse that the "high" cholesterol: Statins bad....cholesterol good. Your brain is chock full of cholesterol....so know we know why people are so stupid today!
