Answering Emails: Whey Protein Powder High Cholesterol

Question: 

Is Whey Protein Powder okay even though it has a lot of cholesterol? J.B. 

Answer for J.B. 

You should always check with your doctor and know your personal cholesterol levels. 

For you J.B. the answer is YES.

You don't have any high cholesterol food or drink you intake on

a daily basis.

So it really shouldn't be concern. Whey protein has some nutritional characteristics that 

suggest it's unlikely to contribute to high cholesterol.

The National Cholesterol Education Program recommends that most people eat less than 200 mg of cholesterol a day.

Cholesterol aids in cell-building, so it's essential to your body but high levels of cholesterol in your blood, can cause blockages that increase your risk for cardiovascular disease.
