Why no figures for women?

The “norm” for women is absent 2A00:23C7:9603:5401:CC95:34FB:27DF:1942 (talk) 12:07, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there no section on history?

I feel like there could be more information on the history of how we discovered cholesterol and how we came to understand its role in the body. The small description of it feels notably incomplete compared to the length of the rest of the information. 2600:1700:8280:2260:80FD:B405:167D:8498 (talk) 06:53, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dietary cholestrol's impact on blood cholesterol

Over the years, studies have shown that dietary cholesterol has little to no impact on blood cholesterol levels. It turns out that high cholesterol foods are usually high saturated fat foods as well, and the latter is the main cause of blood cholesterol levels. Here are some papers that summarize what I've talked about, and provides a small bit of history as well. I'm not well-versed on wikipedia sourcing.

This article is jargon.

This article is too difficult to read for a layman, and the Simple English article is noninformative and only contains three paragraphs.

This article needs to be edited in order to make it legible by the average user. Wikipedia is not an advanced chemistry textbook. 2600:100B:B108:3D3A:0:C:938D:A901 (talk) 15:17, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
