Most people don't realize that in the absence of dietary cholesterol, your body will produce cholesterol - and not necessarily the good kind. So avoiding it in your diet is rather pointless. Like I said, there are many other elements that contribute to a healthy lifestyle so I don't understand all the focus on one's cholesterol number.
I eat fried eggs (in butter) pretty much every morning. On weekends, I add bacon and sausage. I eat healthy amounts of other foods that are said to be high in cholesterol such as liver, cheese and shellfish. My blood work is just fine and my cholesterol level has hovered in the 190-210 range for years and years.
There are many other things I do that are beneficial to my overall health but I certainly don't "watch" or worry about my cholesterol.
I completely concur. I live a similar life and my cholesterol levels are low.
