Cholesterol is a fatty substance that travels through your blood. Your liver makes all the cholesterol your body needs, but you can also take in cholesterol through the foods you eat.


Where does cholesterol come from?

Cholesterol in your body comes from two main sources: your liver and your diet.


Your liver, other organs, and other cells in your body produce about 80 percent of the cholesterol in your blood.


The other 20 percent of cholesterol in your body is affected by the foods you eat. Foods high in trans and saturated fats can contribute to unhealthy cholesterol levels.
