"You don't need to become a complete ascetic in order to lower your cholesterol levels.Scott M.Grundy of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Dallas and his colleagues rotated nine men through two-month stints on each of three diets-the American Health Association diet,in which a maximum of 30 percent of the calories come from fat;a 40 percent fat diet;and a 20 percent fat diet.The subjects' average cholesterol level was 210 mg/dl on entry.
"In all the men,the blood levels of total cholesterol and of the 'bad' form of cholesterol,LDL-cholesterol,fell to around 175.'There were no significant differences [in cholesterol levels of the men] on these three diets,' Grundy says."
