| Just because a food is high in cholesterol does not necessarily mean that it will raise your blood cholesterol... it is not even that simple: a high total cholesterol can be healthy so long as it is mainly of the right type... just as a low total cholesterol can be unhealthy if there is not enough of the good type. Most of what we eat is broken down by the body into its base constituents and then reconstituted as needed. Carbohydrates are readily converted into triglycerides and stored as fat.
