One from the food we eat and one from our bodies' production so you can totally avoid dietary cholestrol and still have a high cholestrol count. There are many other factors to consider when the decision is made re lowering your cholestrol and even there doctors will disagree on the approach or even if one is needed as I soon found out after initially being told I had high cholestrol.
