And brains of animals have up to 10 times more cholesterol than any other part!

It's recommended that we limit our dietary cholesterol to 300 milligrams a day or fewer. How does that translate into what you eat? Here are some examples of food and their cholesterol contents:

3.5 ounces extra lean ground beef, 82 milligrams
3.5 ounce lean pork chop, 94 milligrams
3.5 ounces of chicken breast meat, no skin, 73 milligrams
3.5 ounces turkey, light meat only, 69 milligrams
3 ounces perch, 36 milligrams
6 medium oysters, 46 milligrams
12 large shrimp, 130 milligrams
1 large egg, 213 milligrams
3.5 ounces of liver, 400 milligrams
3.5 ounces of brains, 2,000 milligrams
