Question Dear Dr. Todd Bublitz
how much cholesterol is found in bone marrow and animal hooves such as that of cow, goat etc? and
how about eating bone marrow in regular diet?
do vegetable fat add to cholesterol level in blood as we know cholesterol originates from animal fats only, thank you very much,
Shibli
Answer Shibli,
Bone marrow from cows contains around 120-150 mg of cholesterol (per 100 grams of marrow). By comparison, bone marrow has less than half the cholesterol of egg yolks, but significantly more cholesterol than most other cuts of cow (steaks and ground beef).
I do not know the levels of animal hooves. I could find no research that looked at bone marrow in hooves.
Vegetable fats are mostly unsaturated and these will not increase cholesterol levels. Some plant fats are saturated fats and these will increase cholesterol levels. Saturated fats are found in palm oil, coconut oil and palm kernel oil (the tropical oils).
