I doubt that cholesterol was a concern for people in olden times. It was discovered fairly recently.

The title of the thread should be: Please look at(not over)/check my essay.

Re: How Modern Cooking Methods Improve the Lives of Ordinary People

I have fixed the spelling of my improved title. As for "look over" it is a phrasal verb meaning "to examine something". Example: "Would you please look this over and correct any mistakes?"

I don't consult a dictionary unless I'm unsure of something.

It depends on context. They can mean the same thing.

Always capitalize the first word of a sentence.
