    What exactly is phytosterol? This starts with understanding cholesterol. The relationship between high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease is already common knowledge that most people know. A survey by the World Health Organization also shows that one-third of cardiovascular disease worldwide is due to high cholesterol. But in fact, there are good and bad cholesterol: people usually call high-density cholesterol "good cholesterol", which can help build cell membranes, synthesize hormones, clean arteries, and low-density cholesterol is "bad cholesterol". On the contrary, phytosterols are "except evil and good" cholesterols.
