If Fish Contains “good” Cholesterol, Why Do They Write A High Cholesterol Content In The Nutrition Facts?
Posted by Zolly | Under Nutrition Sunday Jun 7, 2009I bought a bag of Atlantic Cod Loins and reading the Nutrition Facts label I found that it contains 50 mg of cholesterol/17%.
Are they talking about “good Cholesterol”, or “bad one”?
Or maybe I picked the wrong fish!
Fish contains high values of Omega3, wichi is known as “good fat” because of its capability of maintaining the organism younger. No fish is wrong, you just may see the provenience…..
I’m Italian, nowadays fish could even came from China!! Can you believe it?!?
That is a great question!
The short answer is “because the government makes them”. Seriously! The nutrition labels are designed by the FDA, and the food manufacturers have to comply. Pretty stupid, yes, but it is what it is!
