Fun Fact: Cholesterol is an incredibly important building block of the human body, it is present in nerve endings in the brain and is necessary for proper operation of their synapses.
Most ingested cholesterol is esterified, and esterified cholesterol is poorly absorbed. The body also compensates for any absorption of additional cholesterol by reducing cholesterol synthesis. For these reasons, cholesterol intake in food has little, if any, effect on total body cholesterol content or concentrations of cholesterol in the blood.
