Will eating peanuts generously reduce LDL cholesterol?!
Question:
Will eating peanuts generously reduce LDL cholesterol?
I am a diabetic and my LDL is 140 and HDL is 39. I love peanuts and I was told peanuts will reduce LDL. Peanuts are known to contain saturated fats. Saturated fats are to be avoided for keeping the cholesterol under check. But I was told that it is not the case with peanuts and peanuts will reduce cholesterol. Kindly advise so that my eating peanuts is not counter productive.
Answers:
I don't believe peanuts are all that healthy. I think your numbers are pretty good, though. Most of us wish we could be as low as you.
