UNDERSTAND THE DATA
What it means for your diet
The source explains cholesterol in the body, blood and diet. A food amount is not a blood test result. Plant sterols are separate USDA identities: cholesterol guidance must not be treated as a plant-sterol dose or a claim that one form has the same effects.
Ranking amounts describe foods, not supplement doses. A high rank does not mean you should consume more. Source recommendations and cautions retain their original population and scope.

Your body makes all the cholesterol it needs. Cholesterol is also found in foods from animal sources, such as egg yolks, meat, and cheese.
If you have too much cholesterol in your blood, it can combine with other substances in the blood to form plaque. Plaque sticks to the walls of your arteries. This buildup of plaque is known as atherosclerosis. It can lead to coronary artery disease, a condition in which your coronary arteries become narrow or even blocked.
