Question for the Group

Cholesterol. For once I have a question. :-)

I know cholesterol is produced by the liver. But, does a low

cholesterol diet improve liver health? I assume getting rid of the fat

soluble stuff is good and probably prevents fatty liver, which lowers

cholesterol output. but doesn't the liver need to maintain a certain

amount of cholesterol? Or am I wrong and that it just produces it, and

if so what kind? And, if you have too much, can it be the liver is

producing to much? This may be easy for a doctor to overlook. Not too

many doctors would associate high cholesterol with a liver problem.

And, if the liver is producing high cholesterol levels, what are the

dangers?

I've tried doing some reading, but... I know much about the liver but

not cholesterol.
