Cholesterol

The liver uses saturated fats to manufacture cholesterol. It is a fatty substance that exists in blood and organs as HDL cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein), LDL-cholesterol (low density lipoproteins) and VLDL-cholesterol (very low density lipoproteins).Cholesterol is found on the label under fats as a natural link. Arteriosclerosis occurs when fat particles build up in the system and are unable to pass through he arterial walls.

If this product is high, be careful to eat foods low in cholesterol during the day. A high ratio of HDL to LDL is desirable.

It is important to remember that the label gives you the amount per serving.
