8. Bacon
Whether it be wrapped around vegetables like asparagus, nestled between a hamburger patty and cheese, or eaten at breakfast alongside eggs and a biscuit, bacom seems to slide its way into many Americanized dishes. While it’s crunchy and has a delicious taste, bacon is among the worst foods for high cholesterol, not pulling your health together.
Bacon contains around 3.5 grams of saturated fat per slice. The American Heart Association recommends consuming no more than about 13 grams of saturated fats.
This being said, the amount of unhealthy fat in two slices of bacon would contribute considerably to the recommended daily limit. Moreover, cooking bacon in oil or butter will increase the cholesterol content.
According to doctors, people who have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or who are at risk of heart disease may need to avoid bacon entirely.

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.
