The conventional wisdom that foods high in fat and foods containing cholesterol will raise your cholesterol has been largely discredited. Liverwurst is in every way is a healthful and nutritious food.
 

Cholesterol is manufactured in the liver... In ours... and in every mammal.. Ergo...................
 

I love liverwurst on rye with mayo, swiss cheese, sweet red onions, and sliced tomatoes. Mike hates liver anything. I can't eat fish. So when i cook him fish, I get to have liver and onions in brown gravy over wild rice. Yummmmm. :stirthepot:
 
The wife and I both like Wurst, and usually keep a roll in the fridge for a mid-day snack....with Ritz crackers. We also like Liver and onions, and usually the wife makes that for an evening meal at least once every couple of weeks.

I used to also like calf brains, but since the Mad Cow issue came up a few years ago, I haven't seen any of that for sale in a long time.

You're right. Eating foods containing cholesterol doesn't raise the cholesterol in your blood. Cholesterol is manufactured by your body from the vegetation we eat.

There are two ways we can get elevated cholesterol.. One is from diet.. the other is having a liver that manufactures too much. Eating foods high in cholesterol certainly does raise your blood levels. Add that to what your liver is producing, you are going to have problems. Personally, even if I watch my diet and am very strict on eliminating high cholesterol foods, my total cholesterol is about 250. If I do NOT watch what I am eating it shoots to over 350.
