A member asked:

I am not the healthiest eater at all. i always eat fast food and takeout. i went to doctor for tests and i had unusually low cholesterol levels. could it be from the fast food?

Ok: You have genetically low cholesterol, however this type of diet leads to other health problems such as obesity, high blood pressure cancer and diabetes. You can get healthy fast food and take out if you try.
