I thought it was interesting how this little factoid was kept hidden from us. Lots of people like to complain about high cholesterol, but I bet most of them don’t realize that it’s only coming from the animals they’re choosing to eat.

    Few notes:

    Factoid = Common misbelief often shared as a fact to the point that they had to tweak the meaning of the term because it became a factoid in itself.

    There’s also no proven link between dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol. At least not that I know of.

      Factoid = Common misbelief

      I prefer this meaning, too, but it can also mean just an interesting little fact.
