I know porridge is supposed to be good for reducing cholesterol

[dotty.]

is rice pudding good for that too? even with strawberry jam in?

[mazie]

Probably not dotty...especially the dollop of jam

[netibiza]

Yes Dotty, I eat porridge and smother it in single cream and golden syrup, I feel virtuous! haha

[dotty.]

so 50-50 then? i've just had the most delicious rice pudding after lunch and feel my cholesterol is appreciative of my efforts

[netibiza]

Good on yer Dotty, can't always be good can we??

[Sqad]

dotty....if your cholesterol is high but you like the taste of rice puddings or porridge, then eat them because you like them.

If your cholesterol is high and you think that either one of them will lower it to normal levels, then you will be disappointed.

[dotty.]

it's .5 too high i think. but i read on here that porridge helps reduce the bad one. it's the lipids that are wrong

[grasscarp]

I reduced my cholesterol number by several points and the only thing I did different was to eat porridge for breakfast. Its the oats so rice pud not the same.

[Sqad]

dotty...that is fine.

Porridge MAY bring down your cholesterol but only marginally.

[Old_Geezer]

Aye, I think you need to get your oats.
