10 Foods High in Cholesterol
8. Fast Food
According to statistics recorded between 2013 and 2018, roughly 36% of Americans reported eating fast food on a daily basis. While convenient and affordably priced, fast food is considered to be some of the unhealthiest meal options available. This is largely in part to how many fast food options are fried in hydrogenated oils. As with processed snacks purchased at the store, fast-food meals fried in these oils can dramatically spike LDL levels. Regular consumption of fast food has been linked to an array of health disorders ranging from diabetes to heart disease.
Naturally, there are some options found at fast-food restaurants that are perfectly fine to eat. Salads without dressing, croutons, or cheese do not contain any fried or processed elements. Similarly, a number of restaurants now offer grilled chicken instead of fried for sandwiches. While cutting out fast food altogether is advisable, making better choices when at the restaurant can also benefit your cholesterol levels.
