Cholesterol? Cholestrerol is a common misspelling of cholesterol.

Cholesterol comes from your body and the food that you eat. It is a substance that helps your body hold cells together and make hormones, vitamin D, and substances that digest foods.

Therefore, it is important to limit your intake of high cholesterol foods, such as meat products and eggs.
