The following information is about Cholesterol.
Cholesterol Defined
A complex fatty substance with many important functions in the body. The body uses to make cell membranes, the sheaths that cover your nerves, and hormones, among other things. It can be made in our body or supplied through food of animal origin. It is a necessary part of cell membranes and helps to transport and the absorption of fatty acids. Excess cholesterol, however, is a threat to your health because oxidized cholesterol (cholesterol combined with free radicals produced as a waste product of metabolism) may damage and be deposited in artery linings. (See Free Radicals and Article Free Radicals and Antioxidants)
