Diet Equal to Drug in Lowering Cholesterol: Study

 

Tuesday April 10 10:37 AM ET

 

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A diet rich in fruits, vegetables and nuts may

reduce cholesterol levels and consequently lower the risk of heart disease

as effectively as state-of-the-art drug therapy, results of a recent study

reveal.

 

" 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.
