Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers ID: #46579 Long LDL
Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.
So, cholesterol. Firstly, it is derived solely from animals. It's only you only get an animal-based products. Dietary cholesterol does weekly increase your circulating cholesterol levels. It doesn't seem to specifically benefit you know good cholesterol versus bad cholesterol. If anything it might specifically benefit or sorry, increase your bad cholesterol, your LDL cholesterol levels. That said, it is not a very strong association. The effect size isn't very big, which is why in our most recent dietary guide, although in the most recent US dietary guidelines, and I believe ours as well, they've removed the recommendation to limit egg intake. Now, the evidence with regards to egg consumption has been a bit mixed, to say the least, and I think with eggs, you know what you have to weigh up is that yes, they're rich in cholesterol. But, if you're with a lot of dietary research, you have to weigh up what people are eating if they're not eating eggs. So, if you decided, you know if you were a regular eater of eggs and you decided to substitute your, you know, your three egg breakfast for, you know, a lovely bruschetta with some avocado as well on the side, that may be more healthy than what the eggs are. In comparison, though, if you decide that you're not going to eat your eggs anymore, instead you're going to have a few few rashes of bacon, then that might be a bad choice.
