Using pecans in the fight against LDL cholesterol - Using pecans in the fight against LDL cholesterol
New research out of the
Journal of the American
Dietetic Association suggests
that although pecans are
high in fat, they may actually
lower “bad” LDL cholesterol.
Dr. Wanda Morgan and
fellow researchers at New
Mexico State University studied
the effect of adding
pecans to the diet by observing
the diets of individuals
with normal cholesterol.
Those in the pecan group ate
sixty-eight grams of pecans
each day, while those in the
control group continued their
normal diet and avoided
nuts.
Those in the control
group experienced no
change in their LDL
cholesterol levels, but
those who added
pecans to their diets
experienced an average
ten percent drop in
their LDL cholesterol.
