Cholesterol comes from two places. Your body makes most of the cholesterol it needs in the liver.

The rest of the cholesterol in your body comes from the food you eat.

There is no cholesterol in anything that comes from a plant.

Cholesterol is only made by animals, so you can only get it by eating animal products.
