Cholesterol being up in the body is usually an indicator that inflammation is present, so it's a symptom, not the disease. I'm guessing if a person eliminates the inflammation, the cholesterol will go back down. And yes, it's vital to have cholesterol.

Not in my case. I ate terrible and cholesterol was 207 and I was FAT. Lost 65 lbs and quit processed food. My joint pain went away and so did the inflammation and my cholesterol 'number' went up to 350. So, I, personally, can't speak to that assertion as fact. In my case, it is not true.
