FOODS THAT LOWER CHOLESTEROL.
Cholesterol is a type of fat that is obtained from the foods we eat, foods like butter, margarine, cheese, full creme milk, beef fat, poultry fat. 
Not all cholesterol is bad for the health. There is good cholesterol, High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and there is bad cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL).

Attack cholesterol before it attacks you, with these foods:
