Foods containing cholesterol ?
Some foods contain cholesterol. This type of cholesterol is called dietary cholesterol. Liver, kidneys, eggs and prawns are higher in dietary cholesterol than other foods.But the cholesterol we get from our food has much less effect on the level of cholesterol in our blood than the amount of saturated fat we eat.However, liver is also a rich source of vitamin A, which can be harmful in high amounts.So women who are pregnant should avoid eating liver, and older people at risk of bone fracture should avoid eating liver or liver products more than once a week. People who eat liver every week might want to choose not to have it more often because the body stores vitamin A and levels can build up over many years
