ALMONDS VS LDL



Secret Cancer-Fighter
You know they're tasty, but just a handful (1 ounce) of almonds reduces LDL, or bad, cholesterol, and so your risk of heart disease, says nutritionist Guttersen: "Almonds are protective against cancer and diabetes as well." Pair them with dark chocolate, she says, and you have a double source of antioxidants. They fit right in with the new U.S. dietary guidelines, too, which stress eating more nuts and seeds.

  2. Great to hear! It's great when mother nature's way works. I've been eating oatmeal for breakfast so am curious if this will show benefits on my next cholesterol check.
