Does cod liver oil have cholesterol ?
There is no cholesterol in cod liver oil, only omega 3 fats. Why would you worry? You can eat all the “cholesterol” that you want and it will not effect the blood levels of lipo proteins. You should know that Cholesterol is not a factor in heart disease. Cholesterol is irrelevant to heart disease. Nor is your cholesterol level a marker of coronary risk. Your personal or family history is a far stronger indicator. If an electrocardiogram shows an old scar or if blood relatives die prematurely of heart disease, you are undoubtedly high risk even if your cholesterol is 20. Lead investigator, Dr Gregg Fonarow ( University of California Los Angeles Medical Center ) reported recently that nearly 75% of patients having first acute coronary events had LDL levels below 130 mg/dL and nearly 50% had LDL levels below 100 mg/dL.
