A member asked:
I wanted to know is cholesterol a modified fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It's naturally occurring. Modified fats are altered by people -- the best-known examples are the trans-fats, which have been linked in retrospective studies but not in any real animal work with atherosclerosis.
