Is Dietary Cholesterol Really the Villain It’s Made Out To Be?

Almost everything you knew about dietary cholesterol is wrong!

For several years now, cholesterol has been painted as a villain and cholesterol containing foods have been blacklisted. But now a key report in the US, ‘Dietary Guidelines for Americans,’ has found that the warnings to avoid foods like eggs, butter, meat, bacon and liver could have been flawed.

Despite the fact that the medical establishment has long been divided on this issue, foods high in cholesterol have been branded as dangerous to human health since the late 70s and early 80s. Of late, a growing number of scientists and experts have been arguing that there is no link between high cholesterol in food and a rise in its levels in the blood.
