It is true that chicken is lower in fat than beef. The reality is that there is as much cholesterol in chicken as there is in beef.
Cholesterol is found in the muscle of animal products.
Trimming off the fat and removing the skin does not reduce the amount of cholesterol ingested. Chicken does not supply important nutritional allies such as antioxidants, phytochemicals and fiber. If that news wasn't already bad enough, National Research Council studies have found that a high percentage of chicken carcasses are contaminated with salmonella. In North America, we consume over six billion chickens annually. If these 6 billion birds were laid out from beak to toe, the line would stretch to The moon and back twice.
