Original Note:
The video claims that myelin is 100% made of cholesterol. This is simply untrue. Yes, it is partly made up of cholesterol and other lipids, but that is only 85% of its makeup. To say it is 100% cholesterol is an exaggeration https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7226731/#:~:text=Myelin%20contains%20a%20high%20content,uptake%20of%20extracellular%20fatty%20acids.
