Cholesterol is a type of sterol necessary for the structure of every cell. The human body on it own produces 800 - 1000mg of cholesterol per day. Consuming cholesterol from external sources (animal products) is unnecessary and vegan diets are completely free of cholesterol. Chief sources of external cholesterol are eggs and organ meat. Consuming cholesterol increases the risk of chronic disease especially of the heart and blood vessels.

  • Cholesterol is a fatty substance (lipid) found in the blood, body tissues and in animal products (especially the brain, nervous system, liver, and blood). It is essential for the body in the production of hormones, Vitamin D, and bile. Dietary cholesterol raises blood cholesterol—its accumulation in the arteries leads to atherosclerosis—but the effect is less pronounced than that of saturated fat. Contrary to popular belief, eggs are not bad for your cholesterol levels.
  • A soft, waxy substance that is present in all parts of the body including the nervous system, skin, muscle, liver, intestines, and heart. It is made by the body and obtained from animal products in the diet.
  • Ever since the olden days of 1987, Americans have been concerned with Cholesterol. Immediately after the Scientologist Atkins discovered the terroristic fat, America has waged a heavy war on Cholesterol. Unfortunately, armed only with nutrition labels and Slim Fast, the nation quickly lost the war, wasting what precious little time they had on reading the labels on the backs of water bottles. It is very fattening. Cholesterol is caught most easily by the weak - like Pregnant Women, Pregnant Children, and Pregnant Conservatives.
  • Cholesterol is a naturally occurring fatty steroid that is found in cell mebranes and blood plasma in all mammals. It is used to regulate the permiability and fluidity of cell membranes, to form the acidic part of bile, to form some of the other steroid hormones produced by the glands and to help with the use of fat soluble vitamins. However, if a person's cholesterol levels are too high, atherosclerosis, a type of vasculitis characterised by the deposit of fatty plaque on the body's primary arteries can result. Cholesterol is often the main component of gallstones.
  • Cholesterol is a sterol (a combination steroid and alcohol) and a lipid found in the cell membranes of all body tissues, and transported in the blood plasma of all animals. Lesser amounts of cholesterol are also found in plant membranes. The name originates from the Greek chole- (bile) and stereos (solid), and the chemical suffix -ol for an alcohol, as researchers first identified cholesterol in solid form in gallstones in 1784.

Immediately after the Scientologist Atkins discovered the terroristic fat, America has waged a heavy war on Cholesterol. Unfortunately, armed only with nutrition labels and Slim Fast, the nation quickly lost the war, wasting what precious little time they had on reading the labels on the backs of water bottles. It is very fattening. As of early 2005, America has lost the war on Cholesterol, and the documentary Supersize Me highlighted the main events of the war on glutonistic terrorism. Now over half of the nation is overweight, where only select few can have war surgeons perform bypass surgeries. The nation known as America has lost the war and, as such, owes South Africa and Sally Struthers two thousand deep-fried Mars Bars. Cholesterol is caught most easily by the weak - like Pregnant Women, Pregnant Children, and Pregnant Conservatives.
  • Cholesterol is a sterol (a combination steroid and alcohol) and a lipid found in the cell membranes of all body tissues, and transported in the blood plasma of all animals. Lesser amounts of cholesterol are also found in plant membranes. The name originates from the Greek chole- (bile) and stereos (solid), and the chemical suffix -ol for an alcohol, as researchers first identified cholesterol in solid form in gallstones in 1784. Most cholesterol is not dietary in origin; it is synthesized internally. Cholesterol is present in higher concentrations in tissues which either produce more or have more densely-packed membranes, for example, the liver, spinal cord and brain, and also in atheromata. Cholesterol plays a central role in many biochemical processes, but is best known for the association of cardiovascular disease with various lipoprotein cholesterol transport patterns and high levels of cholesterol in the blood. When doctors talk to their patients about the health concerns of cholesterol, they are often referring to "bad cholesterol", or low-density lipoprotein (LDL). "Good cholesterol" is high-density lipoprotein (HDL); this denotes the way cholesterol is bound in lipoproteins, the natural carrier molecules of the body. From Health Wiki, a Wikia wiki.
  • Cholesterol is a naturally occurring fatty steroid that is found in cell mebranes and blood plasma in all mammals. It is used to regulate the permiability and fluidity of cell membranes, to form the acidic part of bile, to form some of the other steroid hormones produced by the glands and to help with the use of fat soluble vitamins. However, if a person's cholesterol levels are too high, atherosclerosis, a type of vasculitis characterised by the deposit of fatty plaque on the body's primary arteries can result. Cholesterol is found in many foods, such as cheese, egg yolks, beef, pork, poultry and shrimp. It is a major component of breast milk and is found in most dairy products, most notably butter. However, the total intake of all types of fat have more of an impact on the body's level of cholesterol than just the amount of cholesterol alone. Cholesterol can be synthesized in the liver. In addition, the body can recycle about half of its cholesterol requirements through the digestion of bile in the intestines. As such, a shortage of cholesterol in a patient is a rarity. Cholesterol is often the main component of gallstones.
