MIAMI: More butter, anyone? A warning against eating foods high in cholesterol is no longer included in the US government’s draft dietary guidelines for Americans, representing a major shift in policy, officials said Thursday.
Until now, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended that cholesterol intake be limited to 300 milligrams per day -- the amount in about one stick of butter, or two small eggs, or a 10-ounce (300 gram) steak.
