I don't think we need cholestrol for anything in our bodies.. I think if we had none we'd be more healthy than a little.

Contrary to the first answer to your question, cholesterol is an important component of every cell in the human body. It performs many functions, particularly as a component of the cell wall and also at the interface of molecules that allow water insoluble materials, like fats, to form compounds which can react in biological processes.

For cholesterol to travel through your blood, it is coated with a layer of protein to make a lipoprotein. Two lipoproteins you may have heard of are HDL and LDL.

“Good” cholesterol – (HDL) cholesterol
High-density lipoprotein, or HDL cholesterol, is called “good cholesterol” because it is believed to remove cholesterol from the blood. High levels of HDL in your blood may help to reduce your risk of coronary heart disease. A low level can increase your risk.

“Bad” cholesterol – (LDL) cholesterol
Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL cholesterol, is known as “bad cholesterol.” Excess LDL builds up in your arteries and may lead to heart disease. The higher the level of LDL, the higher your risk for heart disease.
