Animal v. Vegetable. The simplest explanation would be that the cholesterol comes from food. Eggs are a common source: their yolks are packed with the stuff. So are some meats.

And fat, it was found, is a prime raw material for his liver and other organs to use in making cholesterol...
...case the question would go to the Congress. It would require a two-thirds vote of both the Senate and the House to empower the Vice President to continue as acting President.

In the simplest procedures, a pulse generator sends bursts of current to a crystal, which then produces sonic energy at frequencies ranging from one million to as high as 10 million cycles per second. The pulses pass through a transducer, a combined transmitter-receiver the size of a microphone, which may be simply moistened with water and held against a patient's skull.

The artist's task, in the simplest form of lithography, is to draw his work on flat stone with a greasy crayon. A printer-artisan wets the stone with water, which the grease rejects, and then rolls on ink, which the grease accepts. When the artisan presses paper to the stone, the ink prints the work of art, and the process can be repeated as many times as the artist requires...
