Yahoo! News - Diet Lowers Cholesterol as Well as Drug - Study

Great news!!!
Yahoo! News - Diet Lowers Cholesterol as Well as Drug - Study: "A diet rich in fiber and vegetables lowered cholesterol just as much as taking a statin drug, Canadian researchers reported on Monday. "
"David Jenkins of St. Michael's Hospital and the University of Toronto and colleagues created what they called a diet "portfolio" high in soy protein, almonds, and cereal fiber as well as plant sterols -- tree-based compounds used in cholesterol-lowering margarines, salad dressing and other products."
