Is the skin of pork bad for for people with high cholesterol ?

Question

The skin of pork is very delicious, I often wonder what nutrients are their ? Only the skin, because you boil for sometime, then peel the fats and then cook only the skin.

Answer 1

I'm afraid it is. all animal fats are, sorry.

Answer 2

The skin of pork is bad for anyone. It is high in cholesterol.

Yes, pork is delicious, but if you think the skin is the best part, you are mistaken. There are many superior cuts of meat from the pig. Tenderloin, for example, or any of the chops or roasts.

Answer 3

Fat is stored beneath the skin of every animal. And pork has more fat content than meat content in general- very unhealthy in other words. I mean pigs roll around in their own mess, who would want to eat that?!

Answer 4

Animal fats are healthy source of calories and essential omega oils. It's when they are combined with a high starch (carb) diet. I've got a huge pork picnic shoulder baking in the oven, with a mustard seed rub on the skin. This afternoon, I will peel away the skin and slice it thinly and wrap it in lettuce.

Then I'll have a nice pork dinner, and have plenty left over to make carnitas, pork hash and eggs, and pork with green beans.

Answer 5

What kind of pork do you buy that has skin on it?  I have never seen pork with skin.  I guess you do not mean pork tenderloin and pork chops.  I eat the pork rinds on the Atkin's Diet, but that is another story.

When I buy chicken I always peel the skin off and use a good sauce.

Answer 6

yuk thats close to cannibalism:[

Answer 7

Umm...G-d said NO PORK!!!! There is a reason for that. Pork is horrible. I don't eat it and I'm REALLY REALLY healthy.

YES YES YES. My dad ate them a lot when he was younger and now he has highesterol. Don't!

Answer 15

Yes,  they (chicharrones) are high in cholesterol. But still I love them.

Answer 16

Very probably, but hey! you only live once! Crackling - on the joint and sprinkled with salt (bad for your heart) and then roasted is great - but it's something I do maybe once a year. Live dangerously!
