   "Cholesterol is a waxy substance that's found in the fats (lipids) in   
   your blood. While your body needs cholesterol to continue building   
   healthy cells, having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart   
   disease."   
      
   The largest source of cholesterol is what the human body produces, we   
   too are animals after all.   
      
   There is only a problem when what the body produces and any eaten is in   
   excess of its normal function.   
      
   That is why the level of cholesterol is at a very high rate in india   
   along with a high rate of obesity which has the highest rate of heart   
   related diseases and diabetes.  And that rate comes from a plant diet   
   just as easily as one that includes animal products.
