Default Vegetarians Have Better Cholesterol Levels

Vegetarians have more favorable levels of a number of biomarkers
including cardiovascular-linked ones €” total cholesterol, low-density
lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and apolipoprotein A and B €” than meat-eaters




Total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol concentrations for vegetarians
were 21% and 16.4% lower than in meat-eaters. But some biomarkers
considered beneficial €”including vitamin D concentrations €” were lower
in vegetarians, while some considered unhealthy €” including
triglycerides and cystatin-C levels €” were higher.
