What actually causes high cholesterol? - Hei Man Chan



Travel into the digestive system to learn about cholesterol, and find out what the difference is between LDL and HDL cholesterol. -- In 1968, the American Heart Association made an announcement that would influence people’s diets for decades: they recommended that people avoid eating more than three eggs a week. Their reasoning was that the cholesterol packed into egg yolks could increase cardiovascular disease risk. So, what exactly is cholesterol? And is it actually bad for you? Hei Man Chan digs into this complex molecule. Lesson by Hei Man Chan, directed by Igor Ćorić, Artrake Studio.
