It's somewhere between difficult and impossible to get enough cholesterol, iron and good quality protein on a vegan diet, and all hormones are synthesized from cholesterol, so this is not that surprising
Without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that cholesterol can accumulate in the wall of the blood vessel and cause heart disease and strokes. Without sufficient magnesium in the body inflammation results and it is the inflammation that causes cholesterol to become trapped.
I don't believe that is true, cholesterol isn't simply one substance, it becomes very complex.
There is very good reason eggs and milk have significant quantities of cholesterol. "Nature" wouldn't give high levels of cholesterol to encourage offspring of having heart disease.

You're the troll.

not watching a video from your retarded paleo health channel. Humans make their own cholesterol, and getting excess from animals causes heart disease.
Have you literally ever heard of someone with a "cholesterol deficiency" ?

Heart disease is caused by inflammation, not by cholesterol.

Baby animals are only fed mothers milk for a few months in their life.
