Why is it that saturated fat in the diet raises blood cholesterol more than dietary cholesterol?

It can be manufactured by the body, but I heard that consumption of animal based products in the biggest contributor to high cholesterol in humans.

Is this hype from fanatic animal lovers, or is this scientific fact?

My cholesterol is too high.
I have about 2 ½ month to lower the bad numbers with diet and exercise or I may need cholesterol meds. Are there any good victims that would help lower my cholesterol ? I don’t want to take med.

I’m not just looking for how various diets affect cholesterol level, but mainly for a description of the processes in the body that change blood cholesterol levels.

does anyone know what foods cause high cholesterol and what foods you can eat to lower cholesterol??????

hi there i have high cholesterol and i am lowering it down but i do eat breakfast and the milk has cholesterol and idk if its bad or good cholesterol

I just got my cholesterol results in. I’m 29 years old, 5’10" 200 lbs, very fit. I have a very low body fat percentage even though my BMI is high. I strength train as a novice. My total cholesterol is 160 with ldl at 95 and hdl at 32. My triglycerides came in at 167 however I did not fast and had had 2 meals prior to my test. Please advise.

There are two different types of cholesterol in your body; LDL (Bad) and HDL (Good). HDL reduces LDL. When we eat, Saturated and Trans Fats reduce HDL and increase LDL. Meanwhile, Unsaturated Fats; Poly and Mono increase HDL. What about cholesterol in foods though. There is good and bad cholesterol in your body, there must be good and bad cholesterol in foods too, right? Nutrition labels don’t list any of this. What foods have good cholesterol and what has bad? Or is it all bad?

PS. Correct me oif I have any of my facts wrong.

Who would worry about cholesterol if they were familiar with the NON supportive research results?

Which is condidered good cholesterol?

LDL, HDL, OR triglycerides?
