The Truth About Cholesterol and Heart Disease
Dietary cholesterol has a small impact on blood cholesterol levels. Saturated fat rich foods, like red meats and ultra processed foods, can raise blood cholesterol. Following a low fat diet to lower cholesterol is a mistake. Consuming healthy fats and oils can improve blood cholesterol levels. Types of fat that increase cholesterol are saturated fats, while poly and monounsaturated fats found in vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds can reduce blood cholesterol levels.
