Food of animal in origin contains cholesterol. Cholesterol is part of a family of chemical compounds known as lipid. Meat, Eggs, Butter, Cheese & Milk (and food that is made with these things, for example, most cakes) have cholesterol.

one percent rise in cholesterol raises the chances of heart attack by 2% said Dr. KK Aggarwal, President, Heart Care Foundation of India. Heart patients should therefore avoid eating cakes during Christmas and New Year Season. They should distribute fruits & dry fruits instead of cakes.
