Why do none of these recipes contain cholesterol and sodium milligrams?


For people trying to eat heart healthy and control cholesterol and sodium intake, this is crucial information. I can look at some of these recipes and automatically eliminate them based on ingredients, however; it would be easier and more useful if the nutritional analysis contained this information.

I understand what you are saying, but I just can't sympathize. Eating healthy is your responsibility, not the responsibility of the food packager or the cookbook compiler. Do you realize that with every added bit of "required" information there comes a need for repackaging and reprinting. With each of these come a price increase. It should be no wonder why prices of products keep going up and up, as more and more special interests demand more and more information, from labeling ingredients in order of most content (like you can't tell when you open the can) down to the last grain of salt in a tv dinner. So, no, figure it out for yourself. Self responsibility.

Edit: I just reread this and it sounds harsh. Sorry. I just got off a website revealing the voting records of our foremost politicians, and you caught the tail end of my discontent. But I still don't think watching out for your health is anybody's business but yours.

Most of the recipes on the site are family favorites or were concocted through trial and error. There is no way that nutritional analysis can be provided. That is something you would need to calculate.
Cholesterol in food only comes from animal products, usually fatty ones.
You should be able to look at a recipe and judge by its contents whether or not it contains large amounts of animal fat or salt.

"These Recipes"...?
What recipes ? Most cookbooks are just copies of previous ones with a few new recipes added to satify copyright rules.
In most cases it's called freedom of the press.
I think the American Heart Associaton has a couple of cookbooks out that deal with sodium and cholestrol issues.
