The lower the cholesterol, the better? U.S. study may cause stroke.

and it is well known that high cholesterol can lead to coronary heart disease and moderate stroke. Is that the lower the cholesterol, the better? In fact, a report in the French health magazine TOPSANTE says new U.S. research suggests that low cholesterol can also be harmful to health.
cholesterol is divided into LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is often referred to as "bad cholesterol" and is transported from LDL to extra-liver tissue cells. It deposits in the walls of the arteries, forming atherosclerotic plaques that block the blood vessels and cause cardiovascular disease.
A new study published in the Journal of Neurology by the American Academy of Neurology suggests that women with low LDL cholesterol (less than 70 milligrams per liter of blood) are at higher risk of haemorrhagic stroke (intracranial bleeding caused by ruptured cerebrovascular vessels),
reported.
19-year study of about 27,000 women over the age of 45. During the study period, 137 women suffered hemorrhagic strokes. Nearly 1 percent of women have LDL cholesterol levels below 70 milligrams per liter of blood. Women with low LDL cholesterol are 2.2 times more likely to have a hemorrhagic stroke, the researchers explained.
addition, reports say cancers such as colon and lung cancer, liver failure, such as cirrhosis and hepatitis, thyroid disease and malnutrition, are all linked to low cholesterol. (Li Yaru Zhao Yihui)
