Just eat more plant foods and less animal foods. Cholesterol is found only in animal products, which include beef, chicken, pork, turkey, fish, eggs, butter, cheese, yogurt, milk, and ice cream. There is no cholesterol in any fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts or seeds. Saturated Fat Foods that have cholesterol also tend to be loaded with saturated fat, another substance most people know they should eat less of. So, when we eat less animal derived food, we also eat less saturated fat.
Most plant foods are naturally free from saturated fat.
However, some tropical fats like palm and coconut oil are high in natural saturated fat, and some vegetable oils have been artificially saturated or hydrogenated, as the process is often called. These saturated vegetable fats are most often used in processed and junk food and are good ones to reduce or eliminate. By reducing or eliminating our consumption of animal products and thus, our consumption of cholesterol and satu-rated fat we dramatically reduce our risk of contracting heart disease. We also greatly cut our risk of contracting many other diet-related diseases such as stroke, breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes, impotency and high blood pressure. This has come about because most Canadians eat large quantities of meat, poultry and dairy products a regimen that our bodies are not designed to handle.
