No. Cholesterol and fat do not always go hand in hand. Cholesterol is produced in the liver and so only foods of animal origin contain cholesterol. Since plants don't have livers to produce cholesterol, we can have plant based foods that are cholesterol free but still very high in fat. Such foods in excess may still increase blood cholesterol levels as the liver uses dietary fat to make more blood cholesterol. Therefore, choose these foods in moderation. Which of the following foods are cholesterol free but high in fat: Vegetable oil, Potato chips, Bacon, Donuts, Salad dressing, Chocolate, Cheese 'jejodoyd 'Bujssaip pejes 'synuop 'sdijyo ojyejod '[j0 I|qeIdBIA SIIMSUY For more information send questions to Box 5283 Port Perry or call 985-6946 *By Nutrition at Work, a group of Port Perry Dietitians providing individual and group counselling This message sponsored by.
