12 High Cholesterol Foods to Avoid

Processed Meats

Most processed meats, such as hot dogs, bacon, and sausages, contain a high amount of cholesterol. The level is especially high in products made from red meats like pork, lamb, and beef. They contain more saturated fats and cholesterol than other types, including chicken and duck. It is better to limit the consumption of these foods and replace them with other plant-based sources. Otherwise, you would be at higher risk of experiencing heart disease, obesity, or even colon cancer in the long run. [2]
