Let’s talk Cholesterol

Remember that Cholesterol line on those food Nutrition labels?

Most of the cholesterol our bodies need is made by the liver.  Organ meats, whole milk dairy, shrimp and egg yolks contain high levels of cholesterol and when consumed in high quantity in a person’s diet, can lead to heart attack and/or stroke.  Note to self – keep those aforementioned items in check.

Also, if a food product makes a “no cholesterol” claim, that means that no animal fat was used in making the product, but it does not necessarily mean that the food is low in fat.
