Listmates, many are still confused about my diet as it relates to my
cholesterol dropping so dramatically. To be perfectly honest, I'm a
little confused about it too! LOL! I didn't intentionally change my
diet to lower my cholesterol. Over a matter of time I gradually
eliminated all the foods that were making my stomach sick -- wheat, rye,
barley, oats, pork, all milk products, beef, EGGS. I replaced them with
rice, corn, potatoes, chicken, turkey, fish, tofu, soy milk, & added soy
lecithin. The lowered cholesterol was an unexpected bonus. I don't at
this point even know if the drop is permanent or temporary as cholesterol
levels can be effected by malabsorption. I don't want to sound negative,
but controlling blood levels of cholesterol is a very complex problem & I
don't claim to have the answers. All I can say is that my diet has
changed dramatically and so have my cholesterol levels. ~Valerie in
