Admittedly, we all know that cholesterol would cause blockade of blood vessels and causes the lumen to become smaller, causing some obstruction if the deposits of the cholesterol on the wall of the vessels is thick enough, a condition called atherosclerosis. So, as a complication to that, the tissues that failed to receive blood supply distal to the blockade would undergo hypoxia or worse still infarction. Just like what we have always knew happened in heart attack, or what the medies call myocardial infarction.
I found something on what acute hypercholesterolemia could do. Experiments were carried out on animals to see what a sudden surge of cholesterol in the body could do to a person.
And the conclusions would be of course what we have already known, the increasing risk of, worst case scenario, heart attack.
But human beings are always so ever stubborn. Never listen to advice. Never want to take precautions. Never want to prevent. And when the complications finally take place, they regret.
Stupid right?

Its pretty hard to practice healthy life style especially when we are tempted all the time by the oil, fatty fried food which is easily accessible anytime and anywhere.
But at least doing exercise to burn off the extra calories is a way to fight this.
Poor rabbits.. kena sacrificed just to prove that cholesterol block vessels.
