Vegetarian Diet Helps Lower Cholesterol Levels

Thursday July 24, 2003
In the News - CBS News published the AP article Vegetarian Diet Lowers Cholesterol yesterday. The diet that produced these study results was a strict vegetarian diet that included certain foods (eggplant, soy, almonds, barley, okra, etc.) that have already proven to control cholesterol levels. Although more studies will need to be done to backup the link between a veggie diet and healthy cholesterol researchers are optimistic that they may be on a roadway toward a drugless therapy for lowering cholesterol that will benefit many individuals. This would be a good thing!
Additional Note: Rick Hall, About's Nutrition Guide, reminds us in his blog yesterday the importance of rinsing our fruits and veggies before we eat them.
