One Part of Chicken Contains Four Times More Cholesterol Than Pork Fat

Chicken is usually seen as a healthy, lean source of protein. But not every part of the bird is good for your health. Experts warn that one particular part contains cholesterol levels even higher than pork fat — and many people still eat it without knowing.


The Hidden Culprit: Chicken Liver

  • Chicken liver is packed with nutrients such as iron, vitamin A, and protein.

  • However, it also contains an extremely high cholesterol level — up to four times higher than pork fat.

  • Eating too much may increase the risk of high cholesterol, fatty liver, and cardiovascular diseases.


Who Should Avoid It?

  1. People with high cholesterol – Excess intake can worsen blood lipid levels.

  2. Heart disease patients – High cholesterol raises the risk of blocked arteries.

  3. Those with liver problems – Extra strain on the liver may make conditions worse.


How Much Is Safe?

  • Experts recommend eating chicken liver only occasionally, no more than once every few weeks.

  • Balance it with vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats for better nutrition.

  • Moderation is key — small amounts may be beneficial, but frequent consumption is risky.
