Do some people need to eat cholesterol from animal foods?

[seitan_man]

An ex-vegan on another forum states:

 

'There are individuals who do not make enough cholesterol and thus need dietary cholesterol. For these individuals, veganism is not functional.

 

the way that the body regulates cholesterol is very interesting. people who have high or low cholesterol (rather than balanced) tend to have "broken" systems. Those with high can decrease their dietary intake for amazing results to their overall cholesterol levels and health. Those with low cholesterol must consume cholesterol-rich foods in order to maintain their health'.

Any comments from our experts on here?

Its not common for people to really have dangerously low cholesterol. Cholesterol is a hormone we make...just like testosterone. We obviously don't need to eat meat to get testosterone(although we could)...otherwise no vegans would have any children.
