Does The Body Need Cholesterol And Fats?
Yes, both cholesterol and fats are needed. Cholesterol is necessary for the body to make Vitamin D and certain hormones. In fact, cholesterol must be present in all cell membranes of the body in order for the body to function normally. Fats contain Vitamin A, D, E, and K. Fats keep our skin soft, insulate our bodies against the cold and cushion our internal organs. Fats are a source of concentrated energy because they contain so many more calories per gram than either protein or carbohydrates.
