What are all the ways you can get bad cholesterol in your body? I know food is one...but try to be a little specific with that one...like saying the certain food groups if nothing else. I'm sure there are too many to write...but a few examples would be very appreciated. Also is it true you can inherit like a bad cholesterol making gene? Can it come from family? And any other ways you can get it would be appreciated. I know almost nothing about it so don't be too generic. Thanx in advance to anyone that answers.

You can get high cholesterol from food and genetics. The foods high in cholesterol are foods that contain animal fats...such as dairy products (milk, butter, cheese, and eggs), and meats. The leaner the cut of meat, the less cholesterol it contains. Chicken skin is also a source.
Your cholesterol could also be affected by your family's history. There are plenty of people that eat right and exercise, and are shocked to find their cholesterol numbers are sky high. That happened to a cousin of mine who was lean and ate well, and had a cholesterol reading of over 300. In those cases, cholesterol reducing drugs may be necessary.

I don't have all the answers but I have read that anything with hydrogenated oil in it should be avoided as it takes out your good LDL and gives you bad cholesterol HDL and the stuff is in lots of food ,lots of margarine's have it cookies and cakes ,peanut butters and lots of other foods.If you read the labels that can help.Avoid eating fried foods,eat mostly fresh vegetables and fruit.
