睾酮是由胆固醇制造的。

雌激素是由胆固醇制造的。

皮质醇是由胆固醇制造的。

维生素D是由胆固醇制造的。

消化你晚餐的胆汁酸是由胆固醇制造的。

孕酮——它维持妊娠的稳定——是由胆固醇制造的。

你身体的每个细胞膜都是用它构建的。

你的每条神经都由髓鞘绝缘，而髓鞘主要就是它。

你形成的每一段记忆都需要它来构建维持记忆的突触。

你的大脑有60%的脂肪，其中大部分是胆固醇。

母乳中充满了它，因为没有它，婴儿大脑无法生长。

如果交给自然来设计人类吃的第一种食物，它会把胆固醇置于核心。

吃得少一些，肝脏就会制造更多。

因为没有它，身体无法运转。

1977年，我们对它宣战。

从那时起，男性睾酮水平一直在下降。

维生素D缺乏从罕见变为普遍。

如今，每三位五十岁以上的成年人中，就有一位每天服用一种药丸，来剥离每种上述细胞都在奋力保留的唯一东西。

这场战争进行得非常顺利。

Testosterone is made from cholesterol.

Oestrogen is made from cholesterol.

Cortisol is made from cholesterol.

Vitamin D is made from cholesterol.

The bile acids that digest your dinner are made from cholesterol.

Progesterone, which holds a pregnancy together, is made from cholesterol.

Every cell membrane in your body is built with it.

Every nerve is insulated by myelin, which is mostly it.

Every memory you form needs it to build the synapse that keeps the memory.

Your brain is sixty percent fat, most of it cholesterol.

Breast milk is loaded with it, because no infant brain grows without it.

Handed the job of designing the first food a human ever eats, nature put cholesterol at the heart of it.

Eat less, and the liver makes more.

Because the body will not run without it.

In 1977, we declared war on it.

Male testosterone has fallen ever since.

Vitamin D deficiency went from rare to routine.

One adult in three over fifty now takes a daily pill to strip out the one thing every cell above is fighting to keep.

The war is going beautifully. @SamaHoole
