Can the human body produce cholesterol even if we don't eat any cholesterol?

another way I can ask this question would be....

EXAMPLE: If people eat tons of carbohydrates and NO fat. The Carbs can convert to fat if they are not burned off.

Well, is there anything that converts to Cholesterol even if we do not eat cholesterol?

Fortunately, even if you managed to eliminate cholesterol from your diet, your liver will continue to manufacture it. I say fortunately because without cholesterol we would all die.
