I haven't had a chance to read the article yet, but this question caught my attention.

Yes, of course there is a connection. The body needs cholesterol to make all hormones. It starts with cholesterol as a base, and then adds the necessary things to turn the cholesterol molecule into a hormone molecule.

So obviously, if you decrease the amount of cholesterol in the body, or block the production of cholesterol, your body won't be able to make as many hormones. Like an automobile factory, if that factory is running short on engines, fewer whole cars will be able to be produced.

At least that would be my personal conculsion.

Ok, now to go read that article.
