Shellfish, cholesterol and cardiovascular health

Summary

A leaflet explaining why eating shellfish can help prevent heart problems was produced by the Shellfish Association of Great Britain. A total of 90,000 leaflets were published and distributed to doctors’ surgeries, medical centres, etc. to provide more information to the medical profession and the public on why shellfish should be part of a healthy diet. It helps to dispel the widely held myth that shellfish are high in cholesterol.
