Does WHITE cheese have less cholesterol than YELLOW cheese?
Asked by anonymous on May 11, 2011 in Nutrition



My mother-in-law is convinced that there is less cholesterol in WHITE cheeses than YELLOW ones.  Is she right?


Answer

There’s no nutritional difference between yellow and white cheese.  Orange and/or yellow cheeses have had color added.  Natural, uncolored cheeses are always a shade of white.  Both yellow and white cheeses have 30 milligrams of cholesterol in one ounce.  300 milligrams of cholesterol is the daily limit.  There is only a third to half the amount of in low-fat cheeses.  For example, see these low-fat Cheddar and cottage cheeses or this Laughing Cow brand Light Garlic & Herb Cheese spread.
