Question: Should I be concerned about my cholesterol levels?

Answer: Yes, you should be definitely concerned by cholesterol levels. As you eat a diet that is high in cholesterol and fat, more cholesterol and other lipids circulate in the bloodstream. These molecules have no where to go, so they begin to accumulate and deposit themselves on the walls of arteries and veins. This is the beginning of the onset of heart disease.
