Page 9 - IP3A 003 Cholesterol

Cholesterol can only be introduced

through diets containing meats,

sugar, starch, carbohydrate foods,

and foods rich in trans fatty acids.

The body takes the saturated fatty

acids found in these foods and

makes cholesterol out of it.

Trans-fatty acids are used in most

vegetable oils and margarines, and

increases levels of bad cholesterol in

the body.

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)

comprises more fat and less protein.
