Subject: Jorge, One Fruit More Effective than Statins For Combating Cholesterol



An apple a day may keep the cardiologist away, according to a
research study conducted by Florida State University Scientists.
In this USDA-funded study, a group of women were asked to eat 75
g of dried apples per day. At the end of the 6-month follow up
period, the apples dropped "bad" LDL cholesterol by 23%
--comparable to cholesterol-lowering prescription medications
like Lipitor.

The apple's benefits went further than a simple reduction in
cholesterol. Serial apple eaters found themselves with
significantly lower levels of the pro-inflammatory protein CRP.
The researchers state that the soluble fiber in the apples were
likely responsible for the dramatic drop in bad cholesterol.
Apples are also an abundant source of antioxidants, which also
likely contributed to the reduction in inflammation that the
subject's experienced.

Despite contributing an estimated 250 calories to the subject's
diet, the apples didn't add to the volunteer's waistline. In
fact, each apple-eater lost an average of 3 pounds -even though
they didn't purposefully cut calories.
