 The foods and the drinks which contain high fat contribute to the cause of high cholesterol. It is also caused due to high stress and alcoholism. When the cholesterol level is very high in the blood then it results into high blood cholesterol. It is not a disease itself but it may be the cause of specific diseases like cardiovascular disease. High blood cholesterol is related to enhanced levels of lipids (hyperlipidemia) and high levels of proteins (hyperlipoproteinemia).
There is no specific warning sign of high blood cholesterol but it plays an important role in cardiovascular disease and even it may lead to heart attack or a stroke.

 The Need For Vegetable Oil
Adding any nutrient to the diet which allows lecithin to be produced in normal amounts helps to alleviate atherosclerosis. Although arachidonic acid is necessary before lecithin can be synthesized, saturated animal fats, hydrogenated cooking fats, and most margarines contain little or no essential fatty acids; hence they cannot increase lecithin production. The more arachidonic acid there is in the blood of animals, the more resistant they are to atherosclerosis. Giving vegetable oils or arachidonic and/or linoleic acids, however, elevates low blood lecithin almost immediately. Moreover, when a solid fat in an experimental diet is partly or completely replaced by vegetable oil, the blood cholesterol and fat decrease as their utilization improves; but if the vegetable oil is gradually hydrogenated and fed to groups of animals, the blood cholesterol rises with each increase in hydrogenation.
Any oils, including fish oils which contain no essential fatty acids, help reduce blood cholesterol by decreasing its absorption .Giving vegetable oils rich in linoleic acid, however, markedly increases the quantity of cholesterol changed into bile salts and accelerates the breakdown of fats |
