The body achieves the normal cholesterol level, by controlling both
biosynthesis of cholesterol in the body itself in the liver and the absorption
of lipids from the intestine. An individual’s susceptibility to Hyper
Cholesterolemiae (HC) is determined by the way the body handles fat, ie
the lipids metabolic rate. The HC is found mainly in patients who are suffering
from heart and its vascular diseases. Diabetics, Obesity, Hypertension, Mental
stress, and vascular disease.

dysfunction problems or in who have a susceptibility to these diseases.

liver converts calories from fatty acids, Sugar and alcohol into triglycerides,
releasing them in to the bloods stream. More than two ounces of alcohol per day
will elevate TG in diet responders.
Reducing LDL Cholesterol and TG, can save lives. If the cholesterol by 25%
morbidity from cardio vascular disease will be decreased by 50% that is not a
negligible number, Chemical drugs may reduce that cholesterol but causes
atherosclerosis or even cancer. Men with LDL levels of 130 to 160 must need this
treatment. It depends on their other risk factors.
