The American Heart Association suggests limiting cholesterol to 200 milligrams a day for those with heart disease or its risk factors.

A diet high in saturated fat is the MAIN cause of high blood cholesterol levels.

Eating high cholesterol foods can have a compounding effect in raising blood cholesterol levels, since they are usually ALSO high in saturated fat.
