Have high chlosterol causes a fatty deposit to clog up you're arteries therefore restricting the amount of blood that can pass through at any given time. This can cause clots which can lead to heart attacks, strokes & even death.

Our bodies cannot function without cholesterol, but where there is too much in the blood, the tendency is for it to be deposited as fatty plaque in the arteries which supply blood to vital organs like the heart and brain. When these organs are starved of sufficient blood as a result of the clogging of the arteries due to plaque, heart attack (cardio-vascular accident), stroke (cerebro-vascular accident) and many other complications follow.
