Food Cholesterol: What CNN Says About It?

According to the article posted by Ben Tinker on CNN website, food cholesterol is not really a concern. It has been a rampant speculation for weeks now which started on the 10th of February after The Washington Post have published their headline saying that "The US government is poised to withdraw longstanding warnings about cholesterol".

The Scientific Report of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, stated on the 91st page, says that "previously, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended that cholesterol intake be limited to no more than 300mg per day. The 2015 DGAC will not bring forward this recommendation because available evidence shows no appreciable relationship between consumption of dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol, consistent with the AHA/ACC report. Cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern for overconsumption."

Foodies are buzzing about a tectonic change concerning dietetic designations of foods we are eating. Cholesterol is an important component of the dietary guidelines and warnings due to the fact that the American Heart Association mixed the compound on its crosshairs for over fifty years ago. In reality, Cleveland Clinic's Chairman of Cardiovascular Medicine, Dr. Steven Nissen said that the idea people must limit cholesterol and saturated fat moved Americans from healthy diet to diets containing high sugar which eventually made them to eat more while getting fatter.

And many people are riding with the trend. High-cholesterol foods such as shrimp, eggs, and lobster are expected to rise in sales. Perhaps, these foods that are limited inside or even be banished from homes can really make a great comeback. The thing is that it is how we consume foods. Looking through the most common attributes of well-balanced diets, there is a focus on a study groping dietary patterns since "the totality of the diet may have synergistic and cumulative effects on health and disease."
