Vegetarian diets that are low in animal products are typically lower than nonvegetarian diets in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol, factors associated with reduced risk of coronary artery disease and some forms of cancer.
When trying to lower your LDL cholesterol, you should add foods to your diet that are low in cholesterol and saturated fats, because your body turns saturated fats into cholesterol.
The researchers, in a study for The Journal of the American Medical Association , say the benefits of such a diet is a lower intake of saturated fat and cholesterol throughout the early years - which can help reduce the incidence of obesity and heart problems later on in life.
