Description

Specifications

Cholesterol is a waxy substance that comes from two sources: your body and food
Your body, and especially your liver, makes all the cholesterol you need and circulates it through the blood
Cholesterol is also found in foods from animal sources, such as, meat, poultry and full‐fat dairy products
Your liver produces more cholesterol when you eat a diet high in saturated and trans fats
Excess cholesterol can form plaque between layers of artery walls, making it harder for your heart to circulate blood
Plaque can break open and cause blood clots
If a clot blocks an artery that feeds the brain, it causes a stroke
If it blocks an artery that feeds the heart, it causes a heart attack
