why we should pick poultry this says no, they're all the same >> lean chicken, lean pork is kind of the same level they found out that vegetables obviously are a lot better for you than the other two this is when it comes to your cholesterol levels it's a small study, just came out. it surprised a lot of people 20, 30 years we heard pick the chicken over the beef or pork. >> before everyone runs out to buy a ribeye, i imagine the cut of red meat matters significantly? >> exactly the key was lean red meat. lean chicken what mattered more is the saturated fat levels in the meat or chicken, not the cut itself not the type of meat you are eating the ones you think about top sirloin, filet mignon, lean brisket, top round those are the leaner cuts of beef you want to get the important part is making sure that saturated fat level is low. moderation is a big word i love to use moderation is important.

what they found in the study again was that the vegetables themselves, even though they may have had saturated fats, they didn't raise your cholesterol as much as the red meat and chicken. >> veggies good. meat bad. >> i guess so. until the next study. >> everything in moderation. >> dr. torres, thank you. now to the stanley cup final. all tied up at two games apiece now after the st. louis blues big win over the boston bruins last night ryan o'reilly scoring 43 seconds in the game. final score 4-2. game five thursday night back in beantown you can see that game right here, nbc 8:00 eastern only on nbc. hard to believe that the blues were literally in last place in january. >> look at them now. >> all right we will see what happens. let's go back to the weather, get the rest of al's
