Cholesterol follows general health, the reason cholesterol is high can be an inflammation or other internal forms of damage. Diseases, inflammations, cancer, basically every form of damage will lead to high cholesterol. Diet can have a very big influence on it, but it does not have to be.

Or someone who simply does not get the nutrients needed to keep his immune system working correctly.
