Early in his research Dr. Bloch learned that most of the cholesterol in the bodies of both animals and men comes not from cholesterol in food (though butterfat, egg yolks and meat fats contain much of it) but from built-in cholesterol factories. These factories are mainly in the liver, but many of the body's other cells can make some cholesterol. To discover how they do it, Dr. Bloch had to go back to the biochemical beginning...
