Why Cardiovascular Patients Should Avoid Crabs
Crabs are nutritious and delicious, but they are unsuitable for cardiovascular patients. This is because crabs contain high levels of cholesterol (235 mg per 100 grams of crab meat, 460 mg per 100 grams of crab roe). Patients with coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, or hyperlipidemia should avoid foods high in cholesterol, as doing so can worsen cardiovascular conditions.
