High Cholestrol Foods

Were you looking for information about

High Cholesterol Foods? High cholestrol foods is a common misspelling of high cholesterol foods.

High cholesterol foods include products that come from animals, such as meat, egg yolks, butter, cream cheese, and whole milk. In most cases, the main cause of high blood cholesterol is eating too much of certain types of fat. Saturated fat and trans fatty acid (also known as trans fat) are types of fat that raise your cholesterol levels. Also, foods that are high in trans fat (such as fried food and snack foods) can raise your level of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and lower your HDL ("good") cholesterol.
