Frequently Asked Questions
Does Cod Liver Oil raise cholesterol?
The amount of dietary cholesterol is not clearly linked to levels of cholesterol in the blood. Blood cholesterol is more closely related to the amount of saturated fat in the diet - saturated fat raises blood cholesterol. Polyunsaturated fats, like those found in Cod Liver Oil, are not thought to raise blood cholesterol and may indeed help reduce the formation of LDL (bad) cholesterol and promote the formation of HDL (good) cholesterol. |
