People with high cholesterol are not suitable for eating moon cakes. Traditional moon cakes are high in fat and sugar and should not be eaten, especially for people with diabetes and high cholesterol. Take an ordinary 185g double yellow lotus seed cake as an example, which contains about 840 calories, 72g sugar and 45g fat. Eating a moon cake is equivalent to eating three and a half bowls of rice, eighteen teaspoons of sugar and ten teaspoons of oil. The cholesterol in two salted egg yolks is as high as 1238 mg, which is about four times the daily intake of adults.

People with high cholesterol are only suitable for eating a quarter of moon cakes every day; Emerging fruit moon cakes are healthier, and eating oatmeal helps lower cholesterol. Might as well eat with moon cakes. There are many oatmeal products on the market now, so it is recommended to choose plain oatmeal without sugar and other additives, such as Quaker oats (that is, dissolved oatmeal or instant oatmeal).
