Yes. Absolutely. In fact, every cell in your body needs to have cholesterol. It is part of what is called the plasma membrane. That is what holds the cell together, it is made of a phospholipid bilayer and that is like a sandwhich with the cholesterol making the bread slices. without cholesterol you wouldn't be able to keep your cells together, and then you couldn't keep yourself together,
