Cholesterol Defined

A fat-like substance found in blood, muscle, liver, brain, and other tissues in people and animals. The body makes and needs some cholesterol.

Butter and egg yolks are examples of foods that have a lot of cholesterol.Cholesterol is composed of several components:1. HDL-Cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol): This component of cholesterol seems to have protective effects, and higher levels are considered to be good to have.2. LDL-Cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol)3. VLDL-Cholesterol (very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol)Cholesterol is a lipid.
