Cholesterol? Colestrol is a common misspelling of cholesterol.
Cholesterol is a substance that helps your body function properly. Your body uses it to hold cells together and to make vitamin D, hormones, and substances that help you digest foods. Cholesterol is made in the liver and also comes from animal products that you eat, such as meat, eggs, and cheese. While cholesterol is important, too much of it can cause serious health problems.
