The available evidence indicates there is no "appreciable relationship" between the cholestrol we get from the foods we eat and the serum (bad) cholesterol in our blood.
The new dietary guidelines for Americans will be published later this year and will likely drop reference to cholesteral. Instead it will recommend cutting consumption of saturated fats found in meats like pork, fatty beef, lamb, poultry with skin, butter, cheese and other dairy products made from whole or reduced-fat (2 percent) milk.
