Good and Bad Fats: What you need to know

Cholesterol is a fatty substance produced naturally by the body and found in our blood. It has many good uses, but can become a problem where there is too much of it in the blood.

There are two types of cholesterol - 'good' (HDL) cholesterol and 'bad' (LDL) cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is the type of cholesterol that clogs blood vessels and HDL is the type of cholesterol that helps unclog blood vessels.
