Show Notes

This is the fourth and final episode of my four part series about dietary fats. Today I look at cholesterol, including the essential roles it plays in our bodies - it is a precursor for bile acids and for steroid hormones such as estrogen and testosterone - and its association with heart disease.

I discuss the different types of cholesterol as it can be confusing and I disabuse the myth that dietary cholesterol causes high blood cholesterol.
