cut down on bad cholesterol

cholesterol as we all know is the major cause of heartattacks....it gets deposited along the walls of the arteries(Atherosclerosis) n raises the blood pressure....n finally leads to myocardial infarction....better known as heart attack. i guess it would be better if we can control our consumption of such fats.....also it'd be important to know the diff between good n bad cholesterol....after all a heart attack is probably the last thing one would want to die of....what say people?? prepared to cut it down??
