Why is it unhealthy to eat foods that increase cholesterol in the blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risk factor: Elevated cholesterol levels are one of many risk factors for atherosclerosis. This is cholesterol deposits in your arteries, which reduces blood flow to the affected organ. This can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, renal failure, peripheral vascular disease, and renal failure.
