Easy Health Tip: Cut “Bad” Cholesterol with this Little Wonder [Healthbolt]

Translate Into:

That’s right! According to a recent article in Woman’s World magazine (April 7th edition), red grapefruit can help lower your “bad” (aka LDL) cholesterol levels by as much as 20%. This seems to be the case whether or not your high cholesterol is responsive to statin drugs or whether you make any diet or lifestyle changes.

So what’s behind this little Wonder Fruit? Experts claim the antioxidants in red grapefruit have the power to inhibit the liver’s tendency to overproduce LDLs. Wow, who knew?

So I guess it’s not a bad idea to cast aside that dandy Sausage Mc Muffin with Egg and replace it with a little citrusy goodness then, hm? Darn. There go my Friday breakfast plans. Heh.
