Either way, Maria Romo-Palafox, a registered dietitian and postdoctoral fellow at the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at the University of Connecticut, told CNN:
“If you have problems with cholesterol or if you have a family history of cholesterol or heart disease, then it’s better to consume less red and white meat and replace beans, lentils, grains with higher protein content, like quinoa and soy-based products like tofu and tempeh.”
processed meats
Processed meats, like bacon and sausage, aren’t far behind.
An article published in the National Library of Medicine of the United States, on the “Consumption of red and processed meat and its impact on cardiovascular health in Spain” warns:
In turn, these LDL cholesterol molecules and other lipids can be oxidized and generate inflammatory reactions related to the atherosclerosisor hardening of the arteries, which can eventually lead to ischemia and thrombosis.
dressings
Dressings may go with something as healthy as salads, but some of these mixes They can make cholesterol worse, especially those that are high in saturated fat and added sugars.
In this sense, there are some dressings that tend to be more harmful than others, such as honey mustard, ranch sauce or caesar dressing.
These dressings, in addition to being popular, are among the worst dressings for cholesterol, according to the specialized site Eat This, Not That. Here they explain why:
“The saturated fats and added sugars in the dressing can add up quickly and prevent you from reaching your cholesterol goals.especially if you use more than a tablespoon or two.”
High fat dairy
They’re tasty, but high-fat cheeses like hard cheese, gouda, or cheddar aren’t the best choice for our cholesterol levels.

Oils that raise cholesterol
With the exception of olive oil, which is recommended by the Spanish Heart Foundation, there are some fats and oils that can worsen cholesterol levels.
In this group is the lard, lard (called lard in Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay) palm oil and coconut oil.
For example, a study published in The Journal of Nutrition suggests that palm oil is one of the worst oils for cholesterol.
The researchers found that consumption of palm oil results in higher LDL cholesterol, compared to vegetable oils that are low in saturated fat.
fried foods
As expected, foods are among the worst for cholesterol and Harvard University says:
“Foods that have been dunked in the deep fryer, like chicken wings, mozzarella sticks, and onion rings, are among the worst when it comes to cholesterol.”
And it is that, frying increases the energy density or calorie count of foodsay the experts. So, better choose baked goods.
