What
Foods Contain Fat
And Cholesterol?
Saturated
fats are found primarily in animal products, particularly fatty
meats and many dairy products. Coconut oil, palm kernel oil, and
palm oil are also very saturated. Some of the unsaturated fats in
vegetable oils are also made more saturated by a process called
hydrogenation. Commercially prepared and processed foods made with
the vegetable oils or with saturated fats like butter and lard can
also be high in saturated fat.
There
are two kinds of unsaturated fat: polyunsaturated and monounsaturated.
You should substitute both of these for saturated fat in your
diet. Polyunsaturated fats are found primarily in plant products
including safflower, sunflower, corn, soybean, and cottonseed
oils; nuts; seeds; and in fatty fish. Major vegetable oil sources
of monounsaturated fats are primarily olive and canola oil. Cholesterol
is found only in foods of animal origin, both high fat foods (like
hot dogs and cheddar cheese) and low fat foods (like liver and
other organ meats). And the amount of cholesterol in these foods
varies. A daily intake of less than 300 mg is recommended. A three
ounce piece of meat, fish, or poultry has 60 to 90 mg of cholesterol;
one egg yolk contains about 270 mg; and a three ounce serving
of liver has about 390 mg of cholesterol.
In
the United States blood cholesterol levels in men and women start
to rise at about the age of 20. Women’s blood cholesterol levels prior
to menopause (45 -60 years) are lower than those of men of the same
age. After menopause, however, the cholesterol of women usually increases
to a level higher than men. Since the risk of coronary heart disease
is especially high in the later decades of life, reducing blood cholesterol
levels may be important to the elderly.
Dietary Cholesterol,
Dietary Fat,
And
Overweight InfluenceYour Blood Cholesterol Level
Among
the factors you can do something about, diet has the largest effect
on your blood cholesterol level. Saturated fat raises your blood cholesterol
level more than anything else you eat. Dietary cholesterol also increases
your blood cholesterol level. If you have high blood cholesterol ,
inhibiting the intake of dietary fat and cholesterol into your system
will be a very important step to take.
Being
overweight may also increase your blood cholesterol level. Most overweight
patients with high levels of cholesterol can help control their cholesterol
levels by weight reduction.
