" A significant percentage of adults in the Western world are candidates for cholesterol-lowering drugs,'' according to lead study author Dr. David J. A. Jenkins of the University of Toronto in Canada. " Possibly a better way forward, nutritionally and environmentally, is to retrace our steps to the original diet of humans and incorporate more plant foods in today's diets,'' he said in a statement. http://dailynews./h/nm/20010410/hl/diet_cholesterol_1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
