Abstract
Cholesterol is a highly discussed topic nowadays. Risks related to an unbalanced diet and nutrition are catching the attention of professionals and non-professionals alike.
Internet sources, however, often confuse the reader by providing incomplete and out-of-context information. The complexity of lipidology is not going to become more understandable when technical terminology, especially in abbreviated form, is used.
The text contains explanations of related terms as well references to professional sources comparing evidence-based information. Having the knowledge about the complete nutritional composition of diet can be an important strategy during the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, rather than the unproven reduction of particular nutrients.
