Rote methods are routinely used when fast memorization is required, such as learning one's lines in a play or memorizing a telephone number. Rote learning is widely used in the mastery of foundational knowledge.
What you eat can affect your cholesterol levels, with some foods increasing your risk for high cholesterol and some foods potentially helping you lower your cholesterol levels. Saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, both found in cheese, are two of the main culprits for increasing your cholesterol levels.
A good example of this is Blue Cheese dressing. By selecting the best quality imported or artisan cheese, you'll end up with a fantastic dressing that has only 1 gram of saturated fat and 7 mg of cholesterol. For more common cheeses I generally use Kraft 2% Milk Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese. They also make a good reduced-fat Monterey Jack and Swiss cheese. There are other makers of reduced-fat cheeses that range from 5 - 6 grams per ounce. Fresh mozzarella and part-skim mozzarella are also great choices and are low in fat and cholesterol.
