Major dietary sources of cholesterol include egg yolks, beef, poultry, and shrimp.
Plant products (e.g. flax seed, peanut ), also contain cholesterol-like compounds, phytosterols, which are suggested to help lower serum cholesterol.
It is important to fast for at least 8-12 hours before the blood test because the triglyceride level varies significantly with food intake.
It is recommended by the American Heart Association to test cholesterol every 5 years for people aged 20 years or older.
