can eating shrimp raise your cholesterol
Dr. Gourmet Says.... Shrimp does have cholesterol and in higher amounts than some other animal protein. There is about 200 mg of cholesterol in 4 ounces of shrimp. Keeping an eye on the amount of cholesterol in foods that you eat is one part of lowering your cholesterol. Trying to keep the average of cholesterol that you eat below 300 mg per day is a good target. Your doctor may want you to eat less -- check with him or her. Other keys are things like exercise and not smoking.
