Dietary cholesterol - how important is it?

Michelle Ang, Careline Supervisor

Growing children have growing needs, this section will guide you through your children’s cognitive, emotional and physical development.  It is also full of useful nutrition advice for your child’s ever increasing energy and nutritional requirements and growth. This is a great stage in your child’s life as they become more interactive and engaging, but with their increased language and curiosity there may be some questions you can’t answer;  remember we’re always here to support you.

Dietary cholesterol - how important is it?

Cholesterol from food that we eat is called dietary cholesterol.

It is only found in animal products. Plant food such as nuts, coconut, and avocado do not contain cholesterol but are high in fat.

For most of us, dietary cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol, but it can have a large effect on some people. To be on the safe side people with high risk should limit foods high in cholesterol (brain, liver) to once a week. 

Many people are able to recognise high cholesterol food but not many realise that it is more important to reduce total fat intake.
