This makes me wonder if this is common for people with hypo conditions (insufficient cholesterol), because fructose/sugar is supposed to be able to be converted to cholesterol but if there's a malfunction in that process then it causes a deficiency (presumably common scenario for those of us with less than ideal livers and whatnot). I have read today in a couple of other places that there may be benefit to eating raw eggs (yolk in particular) to really get cholesterol in the system (or in your case, the powder). This thread gives me motivation to try the raw egg idea because I think I've got some cholesterol issues too.
You might be unto something with lack of conversion of sugar to cholesterol in hypo/low energy people.
I've decided to up my fat intake with the goal of consuming more cholesterol as I'm thinking it might be the cause of my dry skin. Increasing animal fat will also increase my intake of fat soluble vitamins. Unfortunately, eggs are off limit due to my son's allergy. I am also trying to find liver sausages, or liver pate (without egg in it) without much success. I might have to go with straight liver. In one night, my skin seems already less dry, but it might be due to some other factor, time will tell.
