White meat such as chicken may raise blood cholesterol levels as much as red meat

does. This finding surprised researchers who admitted they didn't expect that

eating white meat would lead to higher blood cholesterol levels. In the study,

researchers looked at 113 healthy people. The participant in three different diets.

These were a red meat diet which is primarily beef, a white meat diet which is

mostly chicken and turkey, and a vegetarian protein diet. Each diet period was

four weeks. Between the diet periods, participants had a break during which they

ate their regular foods. In addition, participants had blood tests at the start and

finish of each new diet. The results showed that white and red meat diets had the

same effects on blood cholesterol levels. Further, both diets increased blood cholesterol levels compared to the diet built on vegetarian protein sources. The

team acknowledged that it is possible that white meat is better for our health than

red meat,despite their findings. This is because other effects of red meat consumption could contribute to heart disease, independent of cholesterol. Their main recommendations are that people eat less of both kinds of meat. And more

vegetarian protein.
