A member asked:
Does eating cholesterol actually change your cholesterol lab results, or does your body just digest the food cholesterol into tiny little fragments?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cholesterol: You got it right. What you eat is broken into proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Your liver is presented these component parts.
