Why cholesterol is good for us
We live at a time when we’re obsessed with the need to lower our cholesterol levels – but a new study reminds us just how important it is for maintaining health.
Cholesterol is vital for brain development and functioning, and it’s needed to help form brain cells, say Swedish researchers.
People who are on a strict diet to reduce their cholesterol levels often suffer from poor co-ordination, short-term memory loss, dizziness and a lack of balance.

Olive oil prevents, and may combat, Alzheimer's
The olive oil you put on your salad seems to possess the ability to help prevent Alzheimer’s disease, and even to combat it if you already have it.
The magic ingredient in extra-virgin olive oil is oleocanthal, a compound that alters the structure of neurotoxins that contribute to the debilitating effects of Alzheimer’s.
These neurotoxins, known as ADDLs, disrupt nerve cell function, leading to memory loss, cell death and the complete disruption of the brain’s functions.
Researchers from Northwestern University in Chicago, identified the ADDLs in 1998, and have since carried out laboratory tests that demonstrate that oleocanthal encourages antibodies to attack the harmful neurotoxins.
The research team is hopeful that their discovery could be the breakthrough in Alzheimer’s treatment, but only a full clinical trial will provide the answer to that.
