Cholesterol & Liver: Cholesterol is a vital molecule in the body. It is made in your liver and the amount of cholesterol is mostly controlled by your genetics, but it is also a small part on the type of calories you ingest.

Liver and Intestine: Mainly your liver produces 75 percent of your cholesterol your small intestine also aids in both the creation and absorbing cholesterol. The average diet adds another 300 to 500 mg of cholesterol. This external cholesterol comes from animal and dairy products. Eating foods without cholesterol tcarbs fats proteins all break down eventually and release carbon which your liver turns into cholesterol.
