Italian word

colesterolo

cholesterol

Looks like

cholesterol

same

⚠️ The trap

Same meaning. The trap: 'avere il colesterolo alto' (have high cholesterol) — Italian uses the article 'il'. 'Colesterolo LDL' = bad cholesterol; 'colesterolo HDL' = good cholesterol. These acronyms are the same in Italian and English.

To say "same" in Italian:

colesterolo (correct)

"colesterolo" in English means:

cholesterol

Example

"Ha il colesterolo alto e deve ridurre i grassi saturi."

"She has high cholesterol and needs to reduce saturated fats."
