Answer: Answers will vary. Your body can synthesize all of the cholesterol you need, so technically speaking, you don't have to consume any cholesterol in your diet. If you eat animal products containing cholesterol, such as red meat, eggs, and cheese, you consume cholesterol. Until recently, public health guidelines such as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans advised limiting cholesterol intake. However, recommendations are changing to emphasize consumption of heart-healthy unsaturated fats from a plant-based diet including fatty fish, and to avoid consuming any trans fats at all. In short, there is no convincing evidence that consumption of dietary cholesterol, for most people, increases the risk for cardiovascular disease.
