Cholesterol is a type of fat found in your blood, and your liver makes cholesterol for your body. You also get cholesterol from the foods you eat, i.e., fatty cut of meats, poultry skin, fried foods and egg yolk. Fruits, vegetables, and grains (like oatmeal) do not have any cholesterol.
Cholesterol is in every cell in your body and it helps your brain and other organs function. But eating too much fat and cholesterol is a bad idea as this can cause your blood vessels to get clogged – leading to heart attack or stroke in adults.
