<human>: I'm worried about my cholesterol. What are the risks of having high cholesterol?
<bot>: The risk of having high cholesterol is that it can increase your risk for heart disease, stroke, and other health problems. High cholesterol levels can also lead to a buildup of plaque in arteries, which can cause blockages and reduce blood flow to your body's vital organs. This can result in serious medical issues such as heart attack or stroke.
