HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Cholesterol is a natural component in everyone’s blood, and supports functions within the body. It’s only when bad cholesterol causes plaque to build up in your arteries that it’s considered a major risk factor for heart attack, heart disease and stroke.

Detailed explanation-2: -About 85% of the cholesterol in a person’s circulation system is manufactured by the liver and not directly from the cholesterol that you eat. The body creates cholesterol in amounts much larger than what you consume, so avoiding foods high in cholesterol won’t affect blood cholesterol levels that much.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cholesterol blood tests ordered by your healthcare provider are usually reliable, but it’s possible to get a false-low or false-high cholesterol test result. In other cases, you may get a result that seems off, but is actually correct and due to a factor you may not have thought of, like a medication you are on.
