WebMD Addresses Natural Cholesterol Management

WebMD has recently released an online video addressing natural cholesterol management. View Video.

In the accompanying artcle, WebMD reports, "To lower your cholesterol, ...a handful of some "functional foods" have been shown to make a big impact on your cholesterol levels."

"These foods may not be magic, but they're close to it," says Ruth Frechman, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association quoted in the WebMD article.

The article continues that "studies have shown that a diet combining these "superfoods" may work as well as some cholesterol-lowering medicines to reduce your "bad" LDL cholesterol levels." This is great news for the 105 million adults in the U.S. with high cholesterol, particularly for the many people that can't handle the side effects from cholesterol drugs.
