Which cheeses are lower in cholesterol and/or fat?

Q: My fiance and I love fine cheeses (both for general tastings and for cooking). I was planning on baking some portabello caps stuffed with toasted walnuts, oyster mushrooms, spinach and brie tonight (maybe some tomato as well) but brie is a little higher in cholestrol than I would like. Can anyone tell me which cheeses have (relatively) less cholesterol and/or fat (no “low-fat velveeta” please)?

A: The harder the cheese, the lower the fat content for regular varieties. I believe goat cheese has less cholesterol than cow. Check this site for more info http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/lf_hl_low_cholesterol.

Once low cholesterol level is now very high?

Q: 2 years ago my husband had his cholesterol checked in the UK and it was 3.2 which was really good. Now he has been tested in Singapore and it is so high it is off the scale. His diet has not really changed much, and if anything it has improved, no red meat, no cheese etc etc. Why would it change so drastically, is it just getting older (he is 55).We don’t eat the local food – not our taste at all and cookies etc we only eat very occassionally as we have done for a long time. No significant changes at all to the food types we eat

A: HiThe latest word is that VLDL, very small dense particles, along with low HDL and high triglycerides are the risk factors to watch out for. And what most people don’t know is that the most important risk factors are associated with excessive consumption of sugars and other bad carbs and being overweight, and NOT fats and dietary cholesterol. Total cholesterol is a completely useless measurement. It takes something good (HDL), adds it to something bad (LDL) and then another 1/5 of something bad (triglycerides). The Total/HDL ratio is more useful.Before your doctor corners you into getting on a statin, which tends to lower HDL as well as LDL, for the rest of your life, you might consider that statins and lowering cholesterol too much carries with it some risk. Very low cholesterol is also associated with higher all-cause mortality. Interestingly, for those who are worried about low HDL, getting adequate Vitamin D3 (2000 IU/day for most people who don’t spend a lot of time in the sun without sunblock) can raise HDL in a hurry.I hope this helps!
