What we are really eating... at least in the U.S.

[Monica]

191 persons with high cholesterol on diets where at least 80% of the meat intake came from either lean red meat in one group, or lean white meat in another. The results of this study showed nearly identical cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in both groups.

What this is saying is that white meat has just as much cholesterol as red meat. It's a myth that white meat has less cholesterol.

This study suggests that lean red meat may play a role in a low-fat diet for persons with high cholesterol.[23][24]

Not sure how the meat industry came up with that conclusion!
