Foods To Avoid High Cholesterol
Here is a list of foods to avoid high
cholesterol.
Foods high in cholesterol are extremely damanging to your health and you need to know which foods to avoid and which to
eat.
So you want to know which foods to avoid high cholesterol? Read on as I have listed quite a few here and there is a link which takes you to a HUGE list of foods high in cholesterol.
First of all we all know that a high level of cholesterol is one of the leading causes of cardiac diseases and that we need to cut down on foods which are high in cholesterol. But which foods are high in cholesterol and which are low or have no cholesterol?
Cholesterol is found only in animal products such as meat, dairy, and eggs. The USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory lists 7,500 food items on its website and the top 100 foods which are highest in cholesterol are all animal derived.
To see how high in cholesterol animal derived foods are, keep in mind that your goal should be to keep daily cholesterol intake to under 300 milligrams (mg's).

Taken from the USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory. HUGE list!!
So now you know which foods to avoid high cholesterol, what about plant based foods? Plant based foods contain no cholesterol - and I'm not just talking oranges, apples, pears and cabbages here. Vegan bacon, vegan burgers, soya milk, soya cream, soya ice-cream - all these things contain no cholesterol.
So if you are worried about your high cholesterol levels, why not consider a plant based diet?
Cutting out animal products from your diet
is easy and you will not have to deprive yourself of little treat foods. You can eat
loads of lovely goodies
and still keep that cholesterol in check!!
