“The liver also adapts to our dietary intake of cholesterol.  If we are consuming too much, the liver will produce less and if we are consuming too little cholesterol, our bodies will produce more.  Typically our bodies produce all of the cholesterol we need.   As long as our liver and gall bladder are functioning well, bile will remove excess cholesterol from the body.   Fiber in the diet prevents bile from being reabsorbed in the body.”
