3. Does chicken provide less cholesterol than beef?
People often assume that white meat is better than red meat because it provides a lower amount of cholesterol. However, new research shows that both red and white meat can raise your cholesterol levels equally.
The study was carried out by researchers from Children's Hospital, Oakland Research Institute (CHORI), of the University of California, San Francisco. This is believed to be the first study to comprehensively compare the effects of red and white meat on cholesterol.
Researchers have shown that red meat, such as beef and lamb, has become unpopular in recent years because of its association with heart disease and government nutrition guidelines have encouraged consumers to consume it. Use poultry as a healthier alternative.
At the start of this study, we also expected red meat to have a worse effect on blood cholesterol levels than white meat, but we were surprised that the results didn't go in that direction." "Their effects on cholesterol were identical when they provided comparable amounts of saturated fat," says Krauss.

Krauss is a senior scientist and director of atherosclerosis research at CHORI. After studying how red meat, white meat, and plant proteins all affect cholesterol levels, Krauss and his team concluded that both red and white meat cause higher blood cholesterol than the diet from plant proteins. In this study beef, fish and processed meat products such as bacon were not included in the analysis.
So scientists have suggested that the best way to control cholesterol is to switch to plant proteins, such as vegetables, beans and dairy products.
Chicken is a popular meat that is low in calories and fat while providing ample protein. Note that eating chicken skin or the habit of using unhealthy cooking methods will add calories to the dish. In addition, chicken still provides a similar amount of cholesterol as red meat. If you want to lower blood cholesterol, you should consume plant-based proteins.
