Inflammation is what causes the problems, your body uses cholesterol to fix those problems.

One of the inflammatory foods is omega 6 oil - vegetable oil, sunflower oil, canola oil etc. Because they are highly processed.

Omega 3 oils - olive oil, coconut oil, butter - are much healthier.

The other inflammatory food is sugar. Cut out vegetable oils and sugar and stop worrying about your cholesterol.
