Which Nuts Are The Best To Lower My Cholesterol?

Wednesday June 24, 2009
Are you nuts about nuts? I am, and maybe you are, too. When I was growing up, I was always told that nuts were fattening, which was sad because they were my favorite snack. While it's true that they are fattening, it is also important to know that they are full of a "good" kind of fat--unsaturated fat. Unsaturated fats are known for their cholesterol-lowering benefits. In addition to that, nuts contain a lot of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Does your favorite nut make the list of cholesterol-friendly nuts?
