Deciding not to eat beef because you believe it affects your cholesterol level is not actually quite correct. Eating too much red meat will affect your cholesterol level, but eating red meat in moderation does you little harm, and in fact may be beneficial.
Beef contains a type of fatty acid called conjugated linoleic acid or CLA for short which has been shown to help improve cholesterol ratios. Note however I said in moderation.
Animal studies have also shown that the presence of CLA in animals can delay the onset of atherosclerosis and aid weight loss. However, further research still needs to be done to form a conclusive opinion with humans.
