If you've got high cholesterol, you've probably stared at a perfectly innocent egg and wondered: are you friend or foe? After decades of research, here's what we can say with reasonable confidence: for most people, eggs in moderation are probably fine. But (and it's a meaningful but), context matters enormously.

You've just had your cholesterol tested, and your GP spent seven minutes explaining results that look like cryptic acronyms. This is the proper explanation you deserved: what cholesterol actually is, how LDL and HDL really work, what your test numbers mean, and what you may be able to do about it.

One in ten UK women have PCOS, yet most people couldn't tell you what it is. Turns out, it's not just about periods - it's quietly affecting your cholesterol and heart health too. Here's what you need to know.

High cholesterol rarely announces itself with symptoms. Most people feel perfectly fine, which is both reassuring and slightly inconvenient. We explore what high cholesterol actually feels like (spoiler: usually nothing), the rare occasions when your body might drop subtle hints, and why this is all far less dramatic than the internet would have you believe.

Plant sterols have been shown to lower blood cholesterol, and unlike most wellness claims, this one's actually approved by the UK's Food Standards Agency. Discover the science behind these molecular queue-jumpers and why you're probably not getting enough of them.

Cholesterol isn't out to get you. Your body makes it for perfectly sensible reasons: building cells, producing hormones, general upkeep. The difference between HDL and LDL? One cleans up after itself, the other leaves a bit of a mess if there's too much of it knocking about. Sort it with some clever swaps (oats, olive oil, the usual suspects) and a bit of regular movement. Not exactly rocket science, and certainly nothing to lose sleep over. Just keep an eye on the numbers and carry on.
