Cholesterol is a waxy lipid like substance that is important for normal body functions. Cholesterol is used for cellular functions and the production of hormones. The body, in most cases, will produce enough cholesterol to maintain normal body needs. The liver is the major production factory for cholesterol (about 70%). Diets high in saturated fats, significantly increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood. Recommended daily intake of fat should not exceed 30% of calories, with a maximum of 10% being from saturated fat. Many Researches indicate that diets high in saturated and total fat, play a significant role in the process of atherosclerosis (plaque build-up on the artery wall ).
