Eating rice is not a healthy choice if you have high cholesterol.

Although rice is cholesterol-free, but rice is a whopping 70% carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are one of the three major nutrients, which can provide heat for the
body. 1 gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories.

For decades, many health experts have recommended that people with high cholesterol
should reduce their intake of saturated fat.

However, many new studies prove that people with high cholesterol need to reduce their
carbohydrate intake, not saturated fat.

Excess carbohydrates are converted into glucose in the body and absorbed into the
bloodstream, resulting in high blood sugar, high blood lipids and high cholesterol.

Clinical studies have proven that a more healthy diet is a low-carb diet rather than a
low-saturated fat diet.

Therefore, people with high cholesterol need to limit the intake of high carbohydrate
foods, such as: rice, wheat, steamed bread, noodles, bread, biscuits, corn, oats, sweet
potatoes, potatoes, bananas, etc.
