I have been eating foods with no cholesterol in them, how would that affect my health? I have changed my diet a few months ago, and I realized that everything I ate had no cholesterol in it. I found that to be good news, since I was high in cholesterol about a year ago.
Sport Is no cholesterol unhealthy?

The connection between dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol levels is not as direct as some people think.
While a low-cholesterol diet is good if you have high blood cholesterol, you want to be sure you have low saturated fats, NO trans-fats and are consuming the bulk of your fat calories from the GOOD fats and also have a good intake of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber helps keep your "blood" pipes clean and insoluble fiber helps keep your um....."other" pipes clean
And the two don't always go hand in hand. For instance, take a bag of potato chips as an example. A lot of times there will be no Cholesterol listed but it will have a high(er) amount of saturated fat.
