Also question is, does steak increase cholesterol?
Both Red and White Meat Raise Cholesterol Levels, Study Finds. To lower cholesterol levels, your best bet may be a plant-based diet. For years, many health experts have thought that swapping out your red meat for white meat was the way to go. Red meat has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.
Neither is white meat lower in cholesterol than red meat as chicken contains as much cholesterol as beef. Animal products also contain saturated fat which causes our livers to manufacture even more cholesterol. Unsaturated fats don't have this effect.
