True

Blood cholesterol is naturally produced in the body. About 80% is produced by the liver and 20% comes form the food we eat. When blood cholesterol is too high, it settles on the artery walls. As it builds up, arteries can become clogged and blood can't flow properly to the heart and brain so the chances of having a heart attack and stroke increase.

Foods that are high in fat have the greatest effect on your cholesterol level as opposed to the ones that are high in cholesterol. For most people, it's the amount and type of fat they eat that has the greatest impact on their cholesterol levels.

Dietary cholesterol is found only in foods of animal origin such as high fat milk products, eggs, cream, butter and meats and poultry. Dietary cholesterol can raise blood cholesterol to some degree but not nearly as much as high fat foods, especially those that are high in saturated fat.

Saturated fat and trans fats (produced when oils are hydrogenated - a manufacturing process that turns oils into harder fats) tend to raise blood cholesterol.

Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are found in vegetable oils, fish, nuts and seeds. They are considered heart healthy fats because they tend to lower blood cholesterol when eaten in moderation.

In reference to the true & false statement...
eggs and shrimp are high sources of cholesterol, however are lower in fat than the potato chips. Even though the chips don't have any cholesterol (they contain vegetable oil) they likely contain hydrogenated vegetable oil and lots of total fat. Therefore the potato chips are the culprits!
