Surprising Discovery Made About Red Meat Vs. White Meat On 'Bad' Cholesterol

A new study reveals switching from red meat to chicken to keep your cholesterol down may not be such a great strategy after all. According to Gizmodo, researchers at the Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute found that people’s blood cholesterol levels rose similarly when they ate a diet filled with either red or white meat, compared to a diet without meat. Senior study author Ronald Krauss says what they found was surprising, given the conventional wisdom surrounding white meat. The level of LDL cholesterol was the same with both red meat and white meat, and the LDL level was lower with plant-based protein. In other words, if you want to lower your LDL, or "bad" level of cholesterol, skip the meat altogether.
