I had acid reflux so bad for a year that my esophagus
stayed inflamed, I was given things by the doctors and
told to raise the head of my bed as I would inhale the
acid in my sleep and wake up choking! I got tested

One evening after eating pizza, I had terrible
indigestion and a lot of pain in my upper right back. I
had this before and after a previous ultrasound, knew
I had several gallstones, so I was sure it was my
gallbladder acting up again. I figured I had overdone it,

How to Have a Healthy Heart / What is Cholesterol?
Page: 1
Cholesterol is made by our livers, and in the livers of all animals. Plants don't have livers, therefore plant foods don't have cholesterol. We don't need to eat dietary cholesterol because our livers make more than enough cholesterol to cover the minute amounts that our bodies require.
The dietary guidelines for healthy Americans recommends that our total dietary cholesterol intake should be kept below 300 mg per day. But, the studies that support this notion are flawed. Dietary cholesterol has little to do with heart disease. More can be found by reading The Cholesterol Myths.
