Fat cells, ok. I was visualizing the particles in the bloodstream binding the molecules together like cement. I suppose its doubtful. Chunks of this stuff line the liner and filter. It looks smooth, it's light gray in color and when you pick it up it crumbles into chalk-like stuff.

Saw something that said exercise can raise good cholesterol, so you're onto something there.

As for vinegar, "the acetic acid in vinegar may help reduce cholesterol and triglycerides when consumed with a high-cholesterol diet." Amazing what you can dig up on the internet. . .

Whoa, it stabilizes blood sugar, too!

starlight> Wouldn't it be something if high cholesterol resulted from particulate matter in water congealing with cholesterol in the blood vessels or something.


Starlight,
As I recall, cholesterol is fat molecules within the
blood stream. Your body manufactures some two thirds
of its cholesterol and the rest comes from food.

Cholesterol is also 'energy'. As in your body makes
and stores energy in the cholesterol and fat. (I suspect
it turns cholesterol into fat . . .)

It is a necessary part of our bodies functions.
It is when there is too much of it . . . or not enough
of it that problems occur.

I also suspect that the 'good cholesterol' acts like
microscopic scouring balls to gently burnish the fatty
deposits off the walls of our blood vessels . . . while
the 'bad cholesterol' has an unfortunate habit of
occasionally breaking apart and depositing loose chunks
of fat on the arterial walls.

I believe that aerobic exercise helps to improve blood
flow by the increased velocity of the blood aiding in
that 'scrubbing' action whereas a sedentary life style
allows the fat to accumulate and never get cleaned out.

But, that is just my theory . . .
May or may not be right.
Zim.
