Best Answer

Low cholesterol can make a person more susceptible to cancer. Cholesterol is a major component of cell walls and being deficient in cholesterol can make it easier for cancer cells to get into cells. This is very over simplified. This could also signal a problem with your liver or a diet drastically devoid of cholesterol.

Is cholesterol an essential nutrient?

While cholesterol plays a physiological role in the body, it's not as though dietary cholesterol is nutritionally essential. Your liver is able to produce cholesterol on its own from saturated fat. In any case, I'm not aware of anyone suffering from a cholesterol deficiency-most of us should be concerned with having far too high levels of "bad" (V-LDL and LDL) cholesterol and low levels of "good" (HDL) cholesterol.Most vegan diets, free of meat, eggs and milk would be cholesterol free. Vegans (on a properly balanced diet) can be cholesterol free without experiencing negative health effects, so I would be willing to infer that dietary cholesterol is not an essential nutrient.Zero-cholesterol diets do not tout great nutritional benefits. The body is able to make cholesterol because it is so important and needs a backup, but that doesn't mean it isn't better for your body that you be getting it from food.
