Eat to Control Your Cholesterol: There are two kinds of cholesterol. The first is called dietary cholesterol, which is the cholesterol found in foods. Only foods of animal origin contain cholesterol, because animals’ bodies produce it. The second type is called blood or serum cholesterol, the cholesterol in your blood. Some of your blood cholesterol was produced internally, by your liver, and released into your bloodstream, and if you’re an omnivore some was absorbed into your blood through your digestive tract, from the animal foods you consumed. To control cholesterol there are some things you should be eating less of, and other things you should be eating more of.
