Previously oysters were thought to contain high amounts of cholesterol but now, since new methods of calculating cholesterol levels are more accurate, oysters have been removed from the restricted list. Oysters are naturally low in fat, sodium, and calories. They are also a very good source of high quality protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and iron. A three ounce cooked portion of oysters contains only 93 milligrams of cholesterol
Oysters are not only delicious, but they're also one of the most nutritionally well balanced of foods, containing protein, carbohydrates and lipids. The National Heart and Lung Institute suggest oysters as an ideal food for inclusion in low-cholesterol diets. Oysters are an excellent source of vitamins A, B1(thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), C (ascorbic acid) and D (calciferol). Four or five medium size oysters supply the recommended daily allowance of iron, copper, iodine, magnesium, calcium, zinc, manganese and phosphorus.

What are the high cholesterol foods I should avoid?
Egg yolks are perhaps the number one food high in cholesterol that should be avoided. The yolk of an egg contains more cholesterol than any other food. Egg whites are fine to eat. Butter is another food that should be eliminated from the diet because it is very unhealthy. Margarine is a good substitution for butter. Whenever possible, saturated oils should be avoided. Cheese is a high in cholesterol food that should not be included in the diet. Low-fat cheeses are the better choice. Fatty meats and shellfish such as steak, hamburger, ribs, roasts, clams, shrimp and oysters are high in cholesterol and should also be avoided.
