Most people and many health experts believe that cholesterol will be lowered by substituting chicken, turkey, and fish for red meat.

So instead of eating steak and potatoes for dinner, they switch their meal plan to chicken and potatoes. Instead of having a roast beef sandwich, they eat a turkey sandwich. Instead of eating a hamburger, they eat fish and chips.

Most people, including health and fitness experts, have no idea how much cholesterol they eat in their daily diets and overall health plan. They, while well-intentioned, are misinformed. They just don’t realize how much cholesterol is in all animal products, including chicken and fish.

As Dr. John McDougall says in his book, Ten Days to Dynamic Health, in a 3.5-ounce serving,

Pork contains 90 mg of cholesterol.

Beef 85 mg

Chicken 85 mg

Turkey 82 mg

Lamb 82mg

Trout 73 mg

Milk 49mg

Keep in mind that chicken contains as much cholesterol as beef; turkey almost as much cholesterol as beef; and the trout does not follow closely.

In contrast, all plant foods have exactly 0 mg of cholesterol.

Are you serious about lowering the cholesterol that clogs your arteries and causes disease? If so, then eat a plant-based diet.

All animal products, including cheese and milk, are loaded with cholesterol, and that extra cholesterol builds up in your arteries and veins, increasing your blood pressure and your chances of having a heart attack or stroke.

Are you ready to take charge of your body, your health and your life?

Load up on the best foods for human health and fitness that are packed with superior nutrition, low fat, no cholesterol, and fewer calories for easy, natural weight loss.

Avoid and ultimately eliminate dairy and animal products that have excess fat, cholesterol, animal protein, chemicals, calories, and absolutely no fiber.

The logical choice: plant foods in the form of fresh whole fruits and vegetables, raw nuts and seeds, whole grains and whole legumes.

So the next time you eat chicken or fish with the idea that those foods will lower your cholesterol, think again!
