Noticed
--The foods that raise LDL cholesterol (or bad cholesterol) the most are foods that are high in saturated fat and trans fat: fatty meats, shrimp, animal fats, organ meats, pastries, deli meats, egg yolks, whole milk products, butter, lard, coconut, palm and palm kernel oil, fast food dishes, snack foods, hydrogenated vegetable oil We need to reduce the consumption of these foods.
--Foods that lower LDL cholesterol are low in saturated fat: soluble fiber (found in oatmeal, kidney beans, Brussels sprouts, apples, pears, psyllium, barley and plums); polyunsaturated fatty acids (found in foods like nuts and almonds); Omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish – especially mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, yellowfin tuna and salmon – flax seeds, canola and soy); and plant sterols. We must increase the consumption of these foods for our well being.
