    Hey guys

    Just wanted to ask you guys do protein shakes affect your cholesterol in a good way or a bad way??

    If taken on a daily basis are they going to higher your cholesterol and if so by much?

    Thanks in advance

    Whey will usually have been processed in such a way that most of the fats (and therefore cholesterols) have been removed so whey shouldn't have an impact on your cholesterol levels one way or another.

    Some studies have found that whey isolate can have LDL(bad) cholesterol lowering properties though due to a protein fraction called lactoferrin in it.
