How do you get high cholesterol?

Answer 1

While some people are genetically pre-disposed to high cholesterol, most people develop high cholesterol by consuming foods that are high in saturated fats and "bad cholesterols."

These bad cholesterol foods are mostly fatty animal products -- various cuts of beef, pork and lamb, as well as egg yolks or chicken skin.

Animal products like fish are high in unsaturated fats which provide "good" cholesterols.

To lower your cholesterol, lower your intake of high-cholesterol, saturated fat animal products and foods.
