A member asked:

Could you tell me what happens to blood cholesterol and dietary cholesterol inside your body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Recycled& eliminated: Cholesterol you eat (eggs, animal fats) is absorbed in the intestines and is transported to the liver. The liver makes bile with the cholesterol and this gets squirted by the gall bladder back into the intestines to help digest fats you eat. Then about half of the cholesterol in the bile gets reabsorbed and sent back to liver. Half of the cholesterol in bile is excreted in the stool.
