Cholesterol is made in the liver and return there after it has
been released in bile and the digestive tract, where it helps digest
fats before being reabsorbed into the bloodstream. Certain protein
known as low density lipoproteins (LDLs) have been found to be
responsible for carrying cholesterol to the artery wall. While
others, high density lipoproteins (HDLs), help to return cholesterol
to the liver

We have learnt that cholesterol isn’t the bad guy. After all, the
body actually makes cholesterol and we all carry about 150 grams
(one-third of a pound) of it in our bodies. Of this, 7 grams is
carried in our blood. The body needs cholesterol to make sex
hormones, vitamin D and to digest and transport fats (lipids).
Having said that, having a high blood cholesterol level is
associated with doubling of the risk of cardiovascular disease.
HDL cholesterol is sometimes thought of as ‘good cholesterol’ and
LDL cholesterol as ‘bad cholesterol’. Because of this, cholesterol
tests now report not only your overall cholesterol level, but also
how much of that cholesterol is on the good HDL , and how much on
the bad LDL. If, for example, you have a high total cholesterol and
much of it is in the form of LDL, your risk is high. While, if you
have a low total cholesterol and much of it is on the HDL your risk
is low.
There are many ways to lower cholesterol. among them changing to
a veggie diet. Taking whole brown rice or Chinese red rice. Other
ways to reduce cholesterol are lipid lowering spices, exercise,
fasting, water therapy. Which spices to take, ginger, Curcumin,
onion, garlic, cinnamon and of course multi grain bread.
I must add that the American Heart association has said that
inflammation causes heart diseases and not cholesterol and CDC
agrees with this. Rather the statement on inflammation was a joint
effort of American heart association & CDC.
