You can do a search online to ask for a list of foods that lower cholesterol. Jean Carper has devoted a whole chapter on this subject in one of her books and I think it beats what you will find online. There are foods that lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol. I don't remember them all off hand but one is olive oil and another is garlic (one clove of carlic per day).

She's a health writer and everything is backed up by studies. I'll get more information later.
