Facts for cholesterol
Cardiovascular disease kills one Australian in every 12 minutes
The liver is the main processing organ for cholesterol and dietary fat.
We need a small but optimum amount of blood cholesterol for our body to build the structure of cell membranes, to produce hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and adrenal hormones, and help our metabolism work efficiently.
Too much cholesterol circulating within LDL (Low-density lipoprotein) in our bloodstream leads to fatty deposits developing in the arteries.
This causes the vessels to narrow and they can eventually become blocked.
This can lead to heart disease and stroke.
