Can eat tapioca in high cholesterol level?
Are you thinking of tapioca pudding or just plain tapioca? The cholesterol content is different for each. With tapioca pudding it depends on if whole, 2%, 1%, or skim milk is used in the recipe as well as if egg yolks are used or just egg whites. In ready-made packages of pudding, I would suggest looking at the label for cholesterol content. The cholesterol is good. Too high is bad and would harm your body more than benefit it.
For plain tapioca (the dry pearls) there is no cholesterol. If you are concerned about cholesterol, I suggest buying the dry pearls and then using skim milk and egg whites in your preparation. This will decrease the amount of cholesterol in the final product.

Are potatoes and tapioca related?
Yams and sweet potatoes are biologically unrelated plants. In the U.S. the names are used interchangeably. The majority are different varieties of sweet potato. The main distinguishing factor is that a sweet potato tends to have ends which taper to a point and yams tend to have rough scaly skin. In addition, wild yams have been recorded to weigh up to 130 lbs. There are approximately 200 different varieties of yams with flesh colors varying from white to ivory to yellow to purple while their thick skin comes in white, pink or brownish-black. Their shape is long and cylindrical (oftentimes having offshoots referred to as "toes") while their exterior texture is rough and scaly. There is great confusion between yams and sweet potatoes in the United States; most of the vegetables labeled "yams" in the markets are really orange-colored sweet potatoes. The sweet potato has yellow or orange flesh, and its thin skin may either be white, yellow, orange, red or purple. Sometimes this root vegetable will be shaped like a potato, being short and blocky with rounded ends, while other times it will be longer with tapered ends. There is often much confusion between sweet potatoes and yams; the moist-fleshed, orange-colored root vegetable that is often called a "yam" is actually a sweet potato. Nutritionally speaking:
Sweet potatoes are relatively low in calories and have no fat. They are rich in beta-carotene; having five times the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin A in one sweet potato, as well as loaded with potassium. These nutrients help to protect against heart attack and stroke. The potassium helps maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body cells, as well as help maintain normal heart function and blood pressure. Yams are similar nutritionally but are not a great source of Vitamin A. They are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, manganese, dietary fiber, and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). Yams are also known to help protect against cardiovascular disease, benefit those with hypertension, and believed to be an anti-cancer food.

How do you fix tapioca pudding that has too much sugar?
You just have to buy the right brand. There is no right way.
Tapioca is a natural starch that has been derived from the roots of Manihot esculenta. Since it is natural, there was no invention for it. However, I would assume that those living in the Amazon, Brazil, Columbia, Venezula, Caribbean, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Honduras, and most of the West Indies were those who discovered it and began using it.
