Missing a few like cougar (lion, for yappy doodle dog), bear and coyotes but still informative.

surprising to see the cholesterol levels of the wild meat, I thought they'd be lower.

Thats what I found surprising too Brambles.

Nope, but wild animals have much higher "good fats" than beef. Cancel out the bad stuff (at least that's what I tell myself with my 2-steaks-a-day diet).

I noticed that there was no bear listed.

There is actually a debate going on whether eating food that is high in cholesterol has much of an effect on your own bad cholesterol levels. Apparently like anything else to do with health and diet, it simply isn't that simple.

Cholesterol has a bad rap but by itself or in combination with the good fats such as monounsaturated fat and/or polyunsaturated fats it is not bad. What makes it bad is the combination with saturated fats and/or trans fats.

read an article on a 2 year study of the atkins diet, mediteranian diet and south beach diet and they found that the atkins diet was the most effective at lowering overall cholesterol and also the most effective at bringing the good cholesterol levels up.
