Cholesterol is a type of fatty substance that moves throughout your body in the blood. The liver is where cholesterol is formed and it is found as a waxy presence in your cells. Cholesterol is classified into two basic categories Good and Bad. HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) is the good cholesterol. LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) is the bad cholesterol.
