There are no study that suggest that having low cholesterol could be bad. Actually, the lower we continue to get Chol. levels, the more benefits we find.

Do not believe those that say there r any benefit to lowering ur cholesterol. Cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease. A study just completed in China found that LDL that was either higher or LOWER than 126 was associated with increased risk of cancer. Your LDL will be in the range associated with a 50% increase. Cholesterol is vital to every cell in ur body. Did u know that cholesterol is never eliminated, just recycled? It is that important. Many studies have shown that increased cholesterol levels r associated with living longer. This becomes more evident with increased age.
