Fat is normally thought of as triglycerides, like lard, formed in the body as a form of storage.  Any excess food whether carbohydrate or protein is converted to fat.  Cholesterol is a minor component of animal fats, and is present in all animal cells.

apolipoproteins\n\nLipids (triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (Chol), phospholipids (PL), cholesteryl esters (CE)) are insoluble in plasma. These lipids combine with special proteins called apoproteins - apolipoproteins - to form lipoproteins and this process solubilises lipids in plasma. Therefore, the lipoproteins provide a transport system for lipids. Apoproteins are important not only in maintaining the structural integrity of lipoproteins and thereby facilitating the solubilisation of lipids, but they also play an important role in lipoprotein receptor recognition and regulation of certain enzymes in lipoprotein metabolism.

All fats are lipids, but not all lipids are fats. There are oils and waxes such as the oil on your skin or the wax on a cucumber. Fat is normally a lipid that is solid at room temperature, whereas an oil is liquid.

there are two types: bad cholesterol (found in foods like red meat) that clot your blood vessels and good cholesterol (found in foods like nuts) that lower the risk for heart disease.

Moreover, the two good fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) were decreased in the intervention group. These two good fats actually help to prevent heart disease and heart attacks. They were decreased because this was designed as a study about cancer, not about heart disease and heart attacks. In fact, in any study about the effect of fat on heart disease and heart attacks, these two good fats should be increased - or at least not decreased. Decreasing the good fats would tend to cancel the beneficial results of decreasing the bad fats.\n\n\n\nTrans fats are artificial fats made when hydrogen gas reacts with oil. They can be found in cookies, crackers, icing, potato chips, margarine and microwave popcorn.\n\nWhy are They Bad for You?\n\nTrans fats pose a higher risk of heart disease than saturated fats, which were once believed to be the worst kind of fats. While it is true that saturated fats -- found in butter, cheese and beef, for example -- raise total cholesterol levels, trans fats go a step further. Trans fats not only raise total cholesterol levels, they also deplete good cholesterol (HDL), which helps protect against heart disease.\n\nWhat Harm do They do to the Body?\n\nThe stiffer and harder fats are, the more they clog up your arteries. Trans fats do the same thing in our bodies that bacon grease does to kitchen sinks. Over time, they can "clog the pipes" that feed the heart and brain, which can lead to heart attack or stroke risk.\nhttp://www.umm.edu/features/transfats.html

Cholesterol is actually produced by the liver and is a fat-like waxy substance.\n\nAlthough Cholesterol is often thought of as a "bad thing", and if too much is in the body it is, the truth is that cholesterol also has purposes important to your overall health and body function.\n\nEvery cell within the body is formed to varying degrees from cholesterol. When the cholesterol level becomes elevated, it can be dangerous, however, at the appropriate level, it plays a vital role in many functions of the body.\n\nCholesterol works to build and repair cells, produces hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, and produces bile acids proven to aid in the digestion of fat.\n\nIf you have too much cholesterol in your body, the levels build-up in the blood and cause clogging, which in turn raises the risk for heart disease and/or stroke.\n\nSome cholesterol is produced in your body while eating saturated foods made from animal-based foods such as dairy meat, eggs, which are essential components in the elevation of cholesterol. Foods such as fruits, vegetables, and grains do not contain cholesterol.\n\nMore than 50% of all adult Americans have levels of cholesterol that are too high. If you think about that, what that means is that the potential for having a heart attack and/or stroke is just teetering on the edge for millions of people.\n\nAs you will learn in this site, there are ways that cholesterol levels can be reduced. There is hope in that for every 1% you lower your cholesterol, your chance of having a heart attack and/or stroke is reduced by 2%. Not a bad ratio!\n\nThe best approach for managing your cholesterol level is to have it checked by your physician every three to five years. If you have elevated cholesterol, there are several ways you can lower your cholesterol before trying medication.\n\n\nSymptoms of high cholesterol usually are rare. High cholesterol levels are generally identified from a blood test. The symptoms seen are actually from the end-result of high cholesterol for health issues such as coronary disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease.\n\nLet us break each of these down to look at the symptoms in depth.\n\nCoronary Disease\n\nThe primary symptom associated with coronary heart disease is called Angina (chest pain). When a person experiences this, they describe a feeling of "pressure", "squeezing", or a general feeling of "someone sitting on their chest."\n\nThese symptoms can spread to the jaw, neck, or arm regions of the body and although the primary symptom is the feeling of pressure in the chest region, some individuals experience that feeling of pressure in other areas and not the chest.\n\nIn addition to the reported pressure, other symptoms can include nausea, shortness of breath, sweating, lightheadedness or dizziness, and heart palpitations.\n\nAngina can be directly correlated to coronary heart disease and should be taken seriously. However, there are other stressors such as over-exertion, high-level of emotion, or even after eating a huge meal to be considered. In these circumstances a short period of rest, five minutes or so, will reduce or eliminate the symptoms. Again, if you have any of these symptoms, it is better to be checked out by a physician than to assume everything is fine.\n\nStroke\n\nThere are four primary symptoms pertaining to a stroke although often times this is a sudden event with little or no warning.\n\nThe sudden onset of numbness or weakness of face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body \nConfusion, difficulty speaking or understanding \nSudden trouble with vision in one or both eyes \nDizziness, loss of balance, lack of coordination \nOther symptoms can include:\n\nNausea and/or vomiting \nFever \nFainting, convulsions, and even coma \nPeripheral Vascular Disease\n\nThis is a disease consisting of the blood vessels. Arteries that carry blood to your extremities become narrow or clogged. The outcome is that the bl

Normal values for cholesterol is from 150 mg/dL to 250 mg/dL.  so your values are still within the normal range.  Increased cholesterol from the normal range is not good for the heart and body.  How to avoid increased cholesterol values? Avoid fatty foods,( pork and chicken fat), dairy products ( cheese, butter, milk) eggs.  Exercise is also good to burn out the excess fats in your body and avoid their deposition in your adipose tissue.

Shrimp is high in bad cholesterol (LDL). Good cholesterol (HDL) can only come from rigorous physical activity and moderate alcohol consumption.

Unfortunately both butter and margarine have their down sides..\n\nButter contains a lot of saturated fat which raises the bad cholesterol in your bloodstream.\n\nMargarine contains polyunsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. However.. when margarine is created it undergoes a hydrogenation process of fats. This turns some of the polyunsaturated fats in to saturated fats.\nAlso some of the polyunsaturated fat molecules are converted in to transfatty acids which also raise bad cholesterol in the bloodstream.\n\nAs an alternative you may consider using avocado as a spread. It contains lots of natural unsaturated fat which raises good scholesterol in the blood.\n\nOr you could drizzle some polyunsaturated oil over the bread like sunflower oil or fish oil.\n\nUnfortunately I don't like the alternatives and I just go with what I think is the lesser of the two evils.. margarine.\n\nHope I helped somehow.

There is a book written by a doctor that says high cholesterol is not bad for you, in fact quite the opposite.\n\nPeople with low cholesterol commit suicide...so don't worry.\n\n                   The Cholesterol Myths        \n     by Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD\n\n\n    Espagnol                    Français                  Dansk               Svenska \n \n\nThe idea that too much animal fat and high cholesterol are dangerous to your heart and vessels is nothing but a myth. Here are some astonishing and frightening facts (see below) \n\n\n\n \nIf you think this is written by another internet crackpot, take a look at Dr. Ravnskov's credentials and the reviews of his book.   \nEvidence from the new cholesterol-lowering trial PROSPER, that statin treatment causes cancer \n\nNew Cholesterol Guidelines for converting healthy people into patients \n\nRead Dr. Ravnskov´s thought-provoking paper "High cholesterol may protect against infections and atherosclerosis" recently published in Quarterly Journal of Medicine, or choose the popular-scientific version The Benefits Of High Cholesterol, also available in Danish, Swedish and Italian\n\nDr. Ravnskov's most recent publication in English \n \nMany well-known scientists \nagree with Dr Ravnskov.  \n\nGo to\n\nTHINCS\n\nThe International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics\n\n \n \n \n  \n\nHere are the facts! Click on the blue arrows if you want the scientific evidence!\n\n 1  Cholesterol is not a deadly poison, but a substance vital to the cells of all mammals. There are no such things as good or bad cholesterol, but mental stress, physical activity and change of body weight may influence the level of blood cholesterol. A high cholesterol is not dangerous by itself, but may reflect an unhealthy condition, or it may be totally innocent. \n\n 2  A high blood cholesterol is said to promote atherosclerosis and thus also coronary heart disease. But many studies have shown that people whose blood cholesterol is low become just as atherosclerotic as people whose cholesterol is high. \n\n 3  Your body produces three to four times more cholesterol than you eat. The production of cholesterol increases when you eat little cholesterol and decreases when you eat much. This explains why the ”prudent” diet cannot lower cholesterol more than on average a few per cent. \n\n 4  There is no evidence that too much animal fat and cholesterol in the diet promotes atherosclerosis or heart attacks. For instance, more than twenty studies have shown that people who have had a heart attack haven't eaten more fat of any kind than other people, and degree of atherosclerosis at autopsy is unrelated with the diet. \n\n 5  The only effective way to lower cholesterol is with drugs, but neither heart mortality or total mortality have been improved with drugs the effect of which is cholesterol-lowering only. On the contrary, these drugs are dangerous to your health and may shorten your life. \n\n 6  The new cholesterol-lowering drugs, the statins, do prevent cardio-vascular disease, but this is due to other mechanisms than cholesterol-lowering. Unfortunately, they also stimulate cancer in rodents, disturb the functions of the muscles, the heart and the brain and pregnant women taking statins may give birth to children with malformations more severe than those seen after thalidomide. \n\n 7  Many of these facts have been presented in scientific journals and books for decades but are rarely told to the public by the proponents of the diet-heart idea.  \n\n 8  The reason why laymen, doctors and most scientists have been misled is because opposing and disagreeing results are systematically ignored or misquoted in the scientific press.   \n\n 9   The Benefits Of High Cholesterol \n\n \n \nDo you want to know more?

Its the saturated fat that gets depodited in the arteries. We have two types of cholestrol - a good one and a bad one.\nNot all the cholesterol in your blood comes from the cholesterol you eat. In fact, your liver knows how to make cholesterol and does so depending on your body's need for cholesterol based substances like hormones and bile. Some researchers have proven that blood cholesterol is fueled more by liver produced cholesterol than cholesterol from food

In real life American diets it probably is somewhere up to 50% which is way too high. \nYou should shoot for 20-30% calories from fat in your diet, less if you have heart disease. \nSaturated fat raises blood cholesterol more than other forms of fat. Reducing saturated fat to less than 10 percent of calories will help you lower your blood cholesterol level. The fats from meat, milk, and milk products are the main sources of saturated fats in most diets. Many bakery products are also sources of saturated fats.

Excess cholesterol builds up in your blood veins and arteries and can cause a heart attack as it blocks the blood from getting through. If a person eats too much cholesterol or doesn't use all the cholesterol they consume (live a very sedentary lifestyle, etc) then it can be very bad for them. Cholesterol is good when consumed in moderate proportions.
