2. Store-bought baked goods
Cakes, cookies, and muffins combine artery-clogging ingredients like refined flour, sugar, and butter, making them some of the worst foods for high cholesterol. The store-bought ones in particular often come in massive portions, which can contribute to elevated cholesterol levels if you overindulge.
Some commercial baked goods are also packed with trans fats, which are infamously known to be unsafe because they increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. While these very unhealthy trans fats are for the most part being phased out of processed foods, it’s very important to check the label to make sure, especially if you have high cholesterol.
If a grab-and-go breakfast option is more convenient for you, make a batch of muffins at home on the weekend and freeze them for the future.

Good article, thanks
All this info was a good idea I’m happy to know more about this thank you
THERE is the case for vegetarianism! Unrefined plant matter is devoid of cholesterol! No matter how you look at it, eating dead animal bodies (carrion) is a losing deal…

There goes 75% of my diet. I eat almost all these foods on a regular basis. Thanks for reccomending alternatives. Time for big changes.
These recommendations are way off. Anything with fake sugar like HFCS, Corn Syrup, etc. causes your cholesterol to rise. Avoid white sugar and artificial sweeteners. You can eat as much egg, steak, cheese, etc, as you want. When my husband eliminated processed “sugars” his cholesterol dropped 80 points. This was 20 years ago. I did my research online and discovered it’s the man-made sugars that cause your body to make cholesterol. He eats pork sausages, steaks, eggs, maple syrup, sucanat(sugar cane natural), honey etc. to his heart’s content.
