Judith DeCava is a renowned clinical nutritionist, health researcher, and writer. In this second book of her Health Science Series, she unravels the common, misleading misconceptions associated with the so-called dangers of cholesterol. With proof backed by decades of laboratory and field research, DeCava explains in detail how essential--and non-detrimental--cholesterol actually is to the proper functioning of every cell in the body.

A deficiency of cholesterol results in fatigue, obesity, nervous and emotional disturbances, digestive difficulties, impotency or inability to conceive and/or complete a pregnancy, menstrual syndromes and masculine traits in women, effeminate traits in men, blood pressure irregularities, fluid imbalances, nutritional deficits and imbalances, and more.
