CHOLESTEROL QUIZ

 

ANSWERS

 

The Correct Answer: B) False

 

Even “good” fats contain some saturated fat. Corn oil is 13 percent saturated fat, and olive oil is 14 percent. Vegetable oils make an indirect contribution to high blood cholesterol, too: Gram for gram, they have the same calories as does saturated fat (9 calories a gram), and over time, excess calories turn into excess pounds. Being overweight, in itself, tends to raise your blood cholesterol.
