Cholesterol is often an area of confusion. Cholesterol, which has functional roles in our body, is both produced in our body and obtained from food. Some bodies have a hard time regulating cholesterol, and excess LDL cholesterol in our blood can cause plaque to build up in our arteries, which can then lead to cardio-vascular disease. It used to be common practice to restrict cholesterol-containing foods; however, there is not enough evidence to recommend low-cholesterol diets. Rather, once again, we need to focus on a healthy eating pattern that is rich in nutrient-dense foods and keeps treat foods as treats.
