What Is Cholesterol Actually Doing To Your Body?

Cholesterol is one of those things you'll have heard of, but how much do you really know about it? Dr Amir Khan and Cherry Healey look at what cholesterol is, why your liver makes most of it regardless of your diet, and what your blood test results are actually telling you. Dr Amir also covers the difference between HDL and LDL, when statins are worth considering, and why being slim is no guarantee of a healthy heart. Plus, seed oils, and saturated fat. 💬 Got a question for Chat GP? Email: noappointmentpodcast@gmail.com We've partnered with ⁠Randox Health⁠.
