Nuts Improve Cholesterol

"Another study reports eating nuts improves one's cholesterol profile. The study looked at 25 clinical trials involving 583 participants and found that eating just 2.4 ounces of nuts of any kind was associated with a 7.4 percent decline in LDL "bad" cholesterol and improved the ratio total of "good" HDL. The effect was most pronounced among people with higher LDL to begin with, and among those who were not obese. The more nuts they ate the greater the effect." (PCC #446)

Eating more nuts has improved my health and helps to keep my HDL higher than LDL.
