1.D ietary cholesterol is good for your heart -- unless that cholesterol is unnaturally  oxidized (by frying foods in reused oil, eating lots of polyunsaturated fats, or  smoking). Oxidized lipids  contribute to heart disease both by increasing deposition of calcium  on the arterial wall,  and by interrupting blood flow.   When the researchers added oxysterols to the healthy plasma,  the proportion of sphingomyelin in the cells increased, as did the uptake of  calcium. In the presence of certain salts (in the blood, for example), lipids like sphingomyelin develop a  negative charge. This explains the attraction of the positively charged calcium to the arterial wall  when high amounts of sphingomyelin are present. LDL, the so-called "bad cholesterol") when oxidized, it increases the synthesis of a blood-clotting  agent, called thromboxane, in the platelets. The oxysterols enhance calcification of the arteries and promot...
