"Plant Protein and Mycoprotein: Effective Cholesterol-Lowering Swaps"

Swapping meat for mycoprotein, found in Quorn-brand frozen products, could lower bad cholesterol by 10% in just four weeks, according to a study. Participants who consumed mycoprotein daily experienced a decrease in bad cholesterol levels, blood glucose levels, and C-peptide concentrations, which could indicate a reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes. The findings suggest that incorporating mycoprotein into the diet may offer a convenient way to improve heart health and manage cholesterol levels.

"Swap Red Meat for This Protein to Lower Cholesterol and Shed Waist Fat, Study Finds"

A study from Northumbria University suggests that replacing meat with Quorn protein, a meat substitute derived from mycoprotein, may help lower cholesterol and reduce waist fat. Participants who consumed Quorn for two weeks experienced a 12% decrease in LDL cholesterol, a 7% decrease in total cholesterol, and an average reduction of nearly 1cm in waist circumference compared to those who consumed red and processed meat. Lowering cholesterol levels and maintaining a healthy waist circumference are important for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Quorn, a fungi-based protein, is recognized as a healthy source of protein and fiber and is included in the UK Government's healthy eating guidelines.
