What are some High cholesterol foods ? Posted: 06-06-07 22:16pm
Will eating sunflower seeds daily, approx
1/2 to 3/4 cup, add to my cholesteral
level? I have never had a cholesteral
problem until this last year, and the only
thing that I can think of that is
different is the seeds.

Sunflower seeds probably won’t influence
blood cholesterol leves. Drugs that are
used for treating high blood cholesterol
(hypercholesterolemia) include those like
simvastatin. Additionally, a proper diet
can help you to reduce obesity. You can
consult your GP or internist for follow
up.
