Cholesterol is the main building block of steroid hormones including cortisol, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, aldosterone, and pregnenolone.
You should research this further. The same people who want you to eat bugs and no red meat also say that you need a low cholesterol diet.
It has been estimated that up to 70% of the brain cholesterol is associated with myelin. Because up to half of the white matter may be composed of myelin, it is unsurprising that the brain is the most cholesterol-rich organ in the body.
And none of this is accounting for TMAO, which is deadly to men. Western media advertises the idea red meat is manly for a century, men (even athletes) die from heart disease more than women and deteriorate in old age
Longest living populations (Japan and coastal Italy) eat more seafood and poultry, hardly ever eat red meat. You are better off eating salmon, chicken, and pork on occasion than cow. Drink the milk and eat cheese, you get minute traces of tmao but all the other benefits of red meat. Pork develops tmao too because of choline but time to harvest is a lot quicker so there is less accumulation. If you can't quit red meat, veal and lamb should be fine and better than just beef
YES its a nutrient. Oh my.

I do not believe for a second that red meat causes health problems.
When was the media pushing red meat as manly?
