Fat Facts - the Cholesterol Dance
True: Crustaceans such as prawns, mussels and oysters have high flesh cholesterol. However, this does not raise your own cholesterol levels, and in fact can help lower it. Cholesterol in crustaceans is poorly absorbed anyway and the extreme low fat is a great advantage over other food choices.
False: Prawns, mussels and oysters must be avoided by persons who have high blood cholesterol.
True: What should be avoided are the hydrogenated polyunsaturated fats found in industry food such as margarine and animal fats. Hydrogenated polyunsaturated oil is an industry mask for what it really is - saturated fat created from vegetable oil.
