A word or two about Cholesterol -------------------------------------------------- Cholesterol is a waxy substance, similar in appearance to fat. It circulates in the bloodstream and comes from two sources--foods of animal origin, and the liver, where it is produced from other foods eaten. There are two kinds of cholesterol. LDL (low density lipoprotein) is referred to as the "bad cholesterol" because it is associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease. HDL (high density lipoprotein) is referred to as the "good cholesterol" because it is associated with protection against coronary heart disease. Many doctors believe that an excess level of cholesterol in the blood contributes to the formation of deposits in the arteries. If this happens in an artery serving the heart, a heart attack can occur. Cholesterol buildup in the blood can be lowered by reducing saturated fats in the diet. Controlling the types and amounts of food eaten can help do this. There are many ways to control the amount of fat in the diet: Replace foods high in saturated fats with those that are less saturated Substitute fish and poultry for red meats Use unsaturated vegetable fats and oils (like Crisco Puritan Canola Oil) and margarine instead of butter or meat fat Eat fewer foods that are high in fat content, such as bacon, sausage, cold cuts, and hard cheeses Not all foods with fats contain dietary cholesterol. It is only found in animal products, such as meats, dairy products, butter, and egg yolks. Dietary cholesterol is not found in vegetable oils, margarine, egg whites, or plant foods like grains, fruits, and vegetables. From Crisco.com -------------------------------------------------- 7.
