A member asked:
Does the ingredient "cholesterol" in skin lotions/cremes positively or negatively affect blood cholesterol levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The cholesterol that counts for disease is the endogenous cholesterol, i.e., the one that our body makes from simpler ingredients like the breakdown products of fatty food
