In this episode, I shed light on a wildly popular myth: That dietary cholesterol is bad; therefore, should be removed if have high cholesterol and you want to avoid heart disease.

For more than 35 years, the federal government's US dietary guidelines told us to remove food rich in dietary cholesterol (egg yolks, full fat dairy, animal meat, coconut oil) because of the mistaken belief that eating cholesterol would promote heart disease.

That couldn't be further from the truth.

It is now clear that for most people-- the cholesterol found in food does not elevate the amount of cholesterol in their blood or increase the risk of heart attacks.

Unfortunately, many doctors are still out there telling patients to remove these incredibly nutritious foods out of fear of it raising their cholesterol.
