Jeannine	"The foods that lower cholesterol are..." The foods that lower cholesterol are: oatmeal, huge salads made of dark greens, reds, yellows, vegetables, olive oil, sunflower oil. No mayonnaise or use a fat free mayo. Fish and the fish skin and fat are good for lowering cholesterol. Very lean meats. More important are the foods you don`t eat. They are prepackaged foods, fried foods, pastries etc. Eat instead a large variety fruits. Also, exercise every day. This will lower your cholesterol. I hope this helps.

	Powered by Q. I have high cholesterol - i am not happy to take statins. i do try to eat & drink cholesterol-lowering foods.? i have heard that statins affect some people adversely. "As the comercial says high cholesterol is caused by 2 things..." You lab numbers would have been helpful. Statins are good drugs! All Drugs affect someone adversely. The truth is statins are widely taken and very few people have problems taking them. Statins have a RARE serious side affect of causing muscle to break down. A sign of this is muscle pain and/or weakness all over the body. Many people who do something physically that is not normal for them and then hurt blame the statin for the pain. As the comercial says high cholesterol is caused by 2 things. The food you eat and some people's liver produces too much. Try the statin and see how you do. the risk of high cholesterol is much larger that the chance that a statin will cause you problems. Also, ask your doc about generic statins. Work very vell at a much lover price. Votes: 0
