    Dear list,
    The recent correspondence on cholesterol in albacore has reminded me of the difficulties I have had getting any recent data on cholesterol in shrimps, prawns and other crustacea. I have read that current thinking is that much of what was originally recorded as cholesterol is now found to be other sterols related to plant sterols, and hence likely to reduce rather than raise blood cholesterol. However I have been unable to find recent papers on this. Can anyone help please?
    Thanks.
