Red and white meat have a similar effect on blood cholesterol in the body

'When we designed this experiment, we speculated that red meat had a more adverse effect on blood cholesterol levels in the body than white meat, but we were surprised to find that this was not the case, and that when the levels of saturated fat acids were comparable, red meat and white meat had the same effect on blood cholesterol,' the researchers saidThe meat studied in this paper does not include grass-fed beef or processed meats, such as bacon or sausages, but it does not include fishthe findings of this paper are noteworthy because they suggest that a complete limit on meat consumption, whether red or white, may be preferable to lowering cholesterol than previously thought, and the researchers found that plant proteins are healthier for cholesterol in the bloodIn addition, the researchers noted that intake of saturated fatty acids increased the concentration of large ldl lipoprotein particles in the body, compared to small ldl sebum, large amounts of LDL and cardiovascular diseasecompared to non-meat diets, red and white meat also increases levels of large LDLs in the body, therefore, the use of standard LDL cholesterol levels as a measure of cardiovascular disease risk may overestimate the risk of meat and saturated fatty acid intake, as standard LDL cholesterol testing may primarily reflect the levels of larger LDL particlesOver the past few decades, red meat has become less popular because of persistent concerns about the increased risk of heart disease, and government dietary guidelines recommend encouraging poultry (white meat) consumption in place of red meatresearcher Krauss said the researchers have not yet fully compared the effects of red, white and non-meat proteins on cholesterol in the body's blood, but non-meat proteins such as vegetables, dairy products and legumes show the best benefits for the body's cholesterol; (biovalleybioon.com)Origin:Bergeron N, Chiu S, Williams PT, et alEffects of red meat, white meat, and nonmeat protein source on atherogenic lipoprotein measures in the context of low with high-rate fat intake: a randomed controlled trialAm J Clin Nutr2019 Jun 4pii: nqz035doi: 10.1093/ajcn/nqz035
