Cholesterol is a cellulite substance found in most forms of animal life. It can be divided into two groups: HDL (healthy) & LDL (unhealthy). Low density cholesterol causes formation of plaque, which clogs the vascular system & leads to stroke &/or heart attack. High density cholesterol is produced by the body in humans & aids the vascular system against LDL damage.
