Ldl is cholesterol, and can be found in chicken skin.
From J of Food Science "In order to resolve conflicting reports on the cholesterol concentration in chicken skin, we have assayed cholesterol in skin by gas-liquid chromatography. The mean content for six chickens was 71 mg/100g raw skin..."
Yes
Yes, vitamin D is derived from cholesterol.Hint: "Read your Physiology textbook.
Xanthelasma or xanthoma is a skin disorder sometimes seen in people with high cholesterol.
No, gelatin does not contain cholesterol. It is a protein derived from collagen, which is typically sourced from animal bones and skin. Since it is not derived from animal fats, it does not have cholesterol, making it a cholesterol-free ingredient.
It is not the chicken meat that adds to high cholesterol, but the skin. Eat skinless chicken.
All plant foods are cholesterol-free. Therefore peanuts have zero cholesterol.All animal foods have varying degrees of cholesterol. Therefore Turkey contains cholesterol. Turkey is moderately high in cholesterol3oz. White meat, (w/o skin) has 75mg cholesterol, about 25% daily rec. maximum.3oz. Dark meat, (w/o skin) has 100mg cholesterol, about 33% daily rec. maximum.Eating the meat with the skin adds a trivial amount of cholesterol but adds a large amount of saturated fat, which has a much larger (negative) impact on heart health than cholesterol.
Cholesterol gives these benefits in your body:Membrane fluidity in cell membranesDigestion (Cholesterol is used to make bile salts to help emulsify fats in the diet)Hormones (Cholesterol can be made into body hormones)Vitamin D (Cholesterol can be made into vitamin D in skin)
Vitamin D is produced in the skin, on exposure to UV (ultravoilet) radiation, from a modified cholesterol molecule; necessary for normal bone growth and function.
no
because we have a waxy substance in our skin called sebum which makes our skin waterproof
