Stop ‘bad cholesterol’ production to prevent tumour growth

Cancerous tumour cells expand in the human body by feeding on “bad cholesterols” found in the lipid metabolism, finds a new research. Tumour cells grow as a result of scavenging on very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) — commonly known as “bad cholesterol” — in the body. The findings of the clinical trials showed that minimising the liver’s production of LDL would deprive a tumour from its constant supply and therefore reduce its possibility of growth. Tumours not only use lipids as “building blocks” to grow, but they…
