Summary
A new Morning Consult survey conducted on behalf of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) reveals that many US adults hold incorrect beliefs about diet and cholesterol. The survey of 2,200 US adults found that many mistakenly think chicken, beef, and eggs reduce the risk of high cholesterol, when in fact these foods can contribute to it. Additionally, one in five adults was completely unaware of any link between diet and blood cholesterol levels.
