The liver produces cholesterol. What the liver produces in excess can be attacked with medication. Food also brings cholesterol into the body.
Cholesterol in food cannot be solved with drugs. Unfortunately, it is deposited even in the vessels that feed the heart, or the brain.
We have bad cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, too high in the blood. What does too big mean? Over 100 in the analysis bulletin. LDL cholesterol means what the liver makes. The amount produced by the liver is combined with that taken from cholesterol-rich foods. For dangerous overproduction of the liver, there are drugs.
Cholesterol taken from food cannot be combated with drugs, although we are talking about the same substance. Why? Because the gut also enters into the relationship. This is how one of the most complicated relationships appears.
The liver produces cholesterol with the help of an enzyme. This enzyme can be kept under control by drugs called statins.

Dr. Anca Sima, doctor at the Institute of Cellular Biopathology: “There are various companies that produce and doctors prescribe them – crestor, simvastatin and alvastatin. These are very effective. This administration of statins has shown that this level of circulating cholesterol can be lowered by almost half. 40-50% decrease, but that’s only synthesized cholesterol, the one you eat, the statin doesn’t lower it. These statins have an effect if we also keep a decent diet, to lower total cholesterol”.
Medicines, called statins, therefore do not lower cholesterol taken from food. We find it in fatty meats, cheeses, butter and processed sausages.
Why should cholesterol be lowered?
Cholesterol, the one produced in excess by the liver and the one taken from foods of animal origin, must be reduced because that is what our own body tells us.
The liver produces cholesterol. It leaves the liver with bile acids. It reaches the intestine. The intestine does not want to get rid of cholesterol.
Dr. Anca Sima, doctor at the Institute of Cellular Biopathology: “It reaches the intestines with the food bowl and it is actually recirculated by the intestinal cells, the enterocytes. Cholesterol circulates a lot in the body, not all of it is excreted. A part is taken over again by the intestine”.
This is because cholesterol is part of the membrane of every cell. It is a molecule that makes the structure of cells.
What is too much bad cholesterol (LDL) in circulation
Too much means it’s making deposits in pots. Initially they are soft. They also draw calcium from the blood. It circulates normally in the blood.
Dr. Anca Sima, doctor at the Institute of Cellular Biopathology: “They attract calcium. There are some nuclei for the addition of calcium and when it calcifies it’s over! This is exactly what happens with the soda in the sink. And lipids still flow there, but calcium also goes there and it’s hard, petrified. It cannot be cleaned, it can be changed. This with calcium happens from the beginning, when the deposits are small, calcium comes, but at first the danger is not great. These processes evolve, they keep adding, increasing the deposition of fat and calcium”.
HDL cholesterol, good cholesterol, is called good because it constantly travels through the body. It collects excess cholesterol and takes it to the liver, where it is converted into energy.
Dr. Anca Sima, doctor at the Institute of Cellular Biopathology: “Calcium is a very delicate and complicated problem. You can’t live without it. It’s really good to be in excess for the bones. Not on dishes. You have to be very careful about the calcium supplements that are generously recommended, but they are recommended for the bones, but in fact they end up on the vessel, because they don’t write the address on those pills”.
