Cholesterol - Shellfish not the enemy?

Shellfish not the enemyIn the past people were often guided away from consuming Shellfish, because they contain a relatively high proportion of dietary cholesterol and this was believed to contribute to increasing cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. It has since been found that this is not the case and that foods which contain a large amount of saturated fat are more to blame for elevated blood cholesterol levels.

Only a small number of people with genetic conditions, such as Familial Combined Hyperlipidaemia (FCH) and Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) need to be more cautious about the foods they eat which contain dietary cholesterol and they should contact their doctor or dietician for advice as to what quantities to include in their diet.

The Food Standards Agency recommends that the average adult eats at least two portions of seafood per week, as part of a healthy balanced diet.
