"Fat is one of the main problems of our diet today. It is contained in lots of the foods that we eat; animal fats, eggs, milk, liver and kidney. It is also a contributory factor to high cholesterol. People with a high cholesterol reading should be eating a low fat diet, reducing their saturated fats intake.

There are two types of cholesterol LDL (low density lipoproteins) and HDL (high density lipoproteins). The HDL cholesterol helps to take the LDL cholesterol from your blood stream. LDL is the bad cholesterol in your body; it is carried as solid fat in our blood stream, and sticks to the walls of your arteries clogging them and causing cardiovascular problems, which involve strokes and heart attacks."
