Some doctors, known as "the dissidents of the lipid hypothesis", claim that cholesterol itself is a healthy nutrient and that the whole lipid hypothesis, which says cholesterol is linked with heart disease and atherosclerosis, is incorrect. Some information can be found at the Weston A. Prince foundation.

It is interesting to note that the cholesterol in LDL cholesterol and the cholesterol in HDL cholesterol are identical. The only difference between the two is the carrier molecule (i.e. the lipoprotein).

Mostly insoluble in water, it travels in the blood stream in the form of lipoproteins. Initially, it is carried from the intestinal mucosa to the liver in chylomicrons. In the liver it is converted into low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to carries cholesterol to the body cells, while high-density lipoprotein (HDL) carries it back to the liver for excretion.
