Really? You're using "cholestorol" as a reason to avoid a single slice more cheese in a cheese sandwich?

 

sorry my editing did not work in my first post

 

See corrected version below

 

 

 

Cholesterol, from the Ancient Greek chole- (bile) and stereos (solid) followed by the chemical suffix -ol for an alcohol, is anorganic molecule. It is a sterol (or modified steroid),[4] a lipid molecule and is biosynthesized by all animal cells because it is an essential structural component of all animal cell membranes that is required to maintain both membrane structural integrity andfluidity. Cholesterol enables animal cells to dispense with a cell wall (to protect membrane integrity and cell viability) thus allowing animal cells to change shape and animals to move (unlike bacteria and plant cells which are restricted by their cell walls).

In addition to its importance for animal cell structure, cholesterol also serves as a precursor for the biosynthesis of steroid hormones and bile acids.[5] Cholesterol is the principal sterol synthesized by all animals. In vertebrates the hepatic cells typically produce greater amounts than other cells. It is absent among prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea), although there are some exceptions such as Mycoplasma, which require cholesterol for growth.[6]

François Poulletier de la Salle first identified cholesterol in solid form in gallstones in 1769. However, it was not until 1815 that chemist Michel Eugène Chevreul named the compound "cholesterine".[7][8]
