While this is not a health list and I am not a nutritionist, I have been

reliably informed

that cholesterol is found in all foods from animals, not just eggs and dairy.

Triglycerides

are another matter, and if by 'meat' islandjim means redmeat only, he is correct

as far as it

goes (other foods involved is what I mean).

 

Islandjim's statement as written (above) is very misleading. I did a quick

google and

interested members can do the same. There's lots of info out there, including

the

following:

Good luck!

 

Best, Pat

Sorry. Guess I was misinformed--and by a vegetarian at that.
