Why do we need plant lipids and sterols?
Lipids and sterols from whole grains are
important ingredients of the recipe our body
uses to build every cell inside us. Lipids and
sterols actually form part of the structure of
cell walls (also called cell membranes).
It’s the cell wall itself that controls what
passes through it, into the inside of the cell.
And the cell wall also has the job of allowing
out the waste products of cell metabolism.
Cell membrane permeability, which governs
how well the cell walls do their jobs, is
therefore a very important aspect of overall
health and vitality.
