Is cheese safe?

It's no secret that I love cheese. I have many vices, but cheese is definitely one of the front-runners for worst food that I can hardly ever resist. And although I make a point of uncovering ghastly ghastly calorie-laden foods for the artery-damagers they are, when it comes to cheese, I am too chicken to hear the truth because, for the love of pete, please give me this one indulgence and don't make me feel bad about it.

Fitsugar recently addressed the cheese issue, namely how much you can eat without doing yourself (or your heart) harm. If your cholesterol levels are healthy, it's ok to consume 300 mg of cholesterol a day, which means you can have your cheese and eat it too. But if you're cholesterol levels aren't looking good, you'll have to cut back on dairy. The bottom line? Talk to your doctor, and get your cholesterol checked, even if you're in your 20s.
