Bacon!

This sandwich has no less than 2,500 Mgms of Cholesterol (All bad cholesterol from animal fat, not the good one).

You should eat less than 250 Mgms of cholesterol a day, so in that sandwich you have enough for ten days, probably will harm you.

An ounce of bacon has 31mg of cholesterol - that 'wich has 1 pound of bacon - ergo total 496mg ... still higher than the recommended daily allowance, but 5 times less than your figure.

 

Eating HDL cholesterol does not necessarily contribute to your cholesterol levels, cholesterol intake in food has little, if any, effect on total body cholesterol content or concentrations of cholesterol in the blood - your body makes cholesterol - do you think pigs eat a high cholesterol diet? - no, of course they don't - the pig's liver synthesises cholesterol as does a human's.

 

It's a common fallacy that the food you eat directly is directly attributed to the "ailment" - high sugar intake does not cause diabetes, high cholesterol intake does not result in high cholesterol levels, salt does not result in high blood pressure, carbohydrates do not make you fat, etc...

Then why the cardiologists give us a diet low in cholesterol?

Of course your body makes more or less cholesterol depending on how your organism metabolizes the fat andd it's true that HDL Cholesterol is good, but bacon is 100% LDL Cholesterol

According to Harvard University Medical Department, 1 gram of bacon has 1.2  mgms of LDL (bad) cholesterol and 0% of HDL (good), that sandwich has no less than two kilos of bacon.

They also say 

"Good" fats—monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats—lower disease risk.  "Bad" fats—saturated and, especially, trans fats—increase disease risk. Foods high in good fats include vegetable oils (such as olive, canola, sunflower, soy, and corn), nuts, seeds, and fish.  Foods high in bad fats include red meat, butter, cheese, and ice cream, as well as processed foods made with trans fat from partially hydrogenated oil. The key to a healthy diet is to choose foods that have more good fats than bad fats—vegetable oils instead of butter, salmon instead of steak—and that don’t contain any trans fat. http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/fats-and-cholesterol/

Bacon is PURE LDL

I honestly believe them.
