What is oxidised cholesterol? and what tests are available?

[sandybrown]

Heating cooking oil to cook food, will this cause oxidised cholseterol?

Like everything else surrounding cholesterol, this subject has two extremely opposing views.

I cook with saturated fat because it is more stable when heated, I use ghee, butter, coconut oil, lard. Other people would regard this as unhealthy. I put olive oil on salad.

Not come across any tests for this.
