The body's cholesterol is manufactured in the liver.
It is used in the liver to make bile acids where they are then stored in the gall bladder. Bile acids are used to dissolve fats from the food.

Total cholesterol is composed of HDL and LDL. One is "good" cholesterol, and the other is bad.
Bad cholesterol is made when the diet consists of too many fried foods and preferring well-done proteins, not simply because of saturated fats.
It is best to roast, stew, boil or steam meats, or grill to medium only. Eggs should be soft boiled or soft scrambled.
Bad cholesterol is also made from trans fats in diet, and also too many refined carbohydrates.
The goal is to have as much as possible of the "good" cholesterol, even if that means your total cholesterol number reaches 350. Thousands of Eskimo indians have demonstrated it's the healthiest range of total cholesterol.
Beware of statin drugs, they also have plenty of "side" effects.
