Medicine Myths: I am not sure what you are really asking given the question, but our bodies do not recognize 'cholesterol' in the diet. Foods are broken into fats, sugars and proteins in the stomach and small intestines and then presented to the liver as storage or building blocks for the variety of processes the liver manages. Your liver knows what to do with the fats to make what it needs.
