Do you think seafood causes cholesterol?

It seems that many people actually do think that cholesterol in seafood will increase the cholesterol level in the blood. They are wrong. Cholesterol found in seafood or other meats has little effect on blood cholesterol in MOST people. Saturated fats and transfattty acids are the most important factors that raise blood cholesterol, not dietary cholesterol! Saturated fats are found in some pre-packaged food or other processed foods containing shortening or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Trans fatty acids, on the other hand, are also found in packaged snack foods, deep-fried foods or firm margarine containing hydrogenated oil. This is not fresh fish here, but rather pre-processed fish. For people with higher cholesterol levels, seafood can be consumed a few times per week if saturated fat intakes are low. This means providing you keep the intake of saturated fats down, you can have your seafood a few times a week. :) As regards to your father, that is what parents do, i.e. worry about their "children" regardless of how old they are, so your father is just telling you to take care. LOL
