Is Whey Protein bad for cholesterol?
No, actually whey protein powder has been shown to be helpful in reducing LDL or bad cholesterol in some studies, though the evidence is not yet conclusive. One study found that overweight people consuming at least 50 grams of whey protein a day had significant reductions in total LDL cholesterol in just 12 weeks.
