Isn shrimp high in cholesterol?
Contessa shrimp has no saturated fat. It’s saturated fat – not cholesterol – that has the biggest impact on raising your blood cholesterol level. And it’s the high cholesterol in the blood, not dietary cholesterol that is linked to heart disease. LDL, or ”bad” cholesterol, builds up and clogs arteries. HDL, the ”good” cholesterol, cleanses the arteries. Studies confirm that consuming shrimp can actually raise your levels of HDL, and that can lower your cholesterol level and risks for heart disease.
