(NaturalNews) Cholesterol seems to be one of those things that strikes
fear into the hearts of many, so to speak. But is the reputation that
this oily substance has acquired truly deserved? What is certain is
that the 'little knowledge' that the media often imparts means many
folks assume cholesterol is simply a 'bad' thing. Alternately, a good
number of us may have heard the terms 'good' cholesterol and 'bad'
cholesterol bandied about without knowing much about what this really
means. In fact it is a fairly safe bet that if you asked anyone on the
street for his or her instinctive response, if asked about
cholesterol, they would probably say that we simply need to 'reduce
it'.
