does eating alot of rice give u high cholesterol?


Question:


Answers:
Generally speaking, cholesterol INTAKE (relative to high blood cholesterol levels) comes from animal products. Since rice is not an animal product, it is not a causative factor.
Better yet, the fiber content of (especially) brown rice can contribute to decreasing cholesterol levels.

If you're going to eat rice as a staple food AND you're concerned about (decreasing) high blood cholesterol levels, eating either brown rice or a 'wild rice' blend is better than white rice.

Other Answers:
Rice contains no cholesterol at all. A LOT of rice can give you high cholesterol in 2 kinds of situations:

1. You prepare it with plenty of butter or animal fat.

2. You generally overeat and become overweight.
