Q. I read on a previous posting that it is what you feed the chickens that increases or lowers the cholesterol content. Unfortunately there was no mention on what you should feed them. I have noticed that some chicken feed contains blood and bone, and that would obviously play a role. Is there anything else I should be aware of? Please note I do not live in the USA so please do not give brand names.
Sorry am talking about lowering the cholesterol content of the egg.
JD, would that affect the egg?

A. To lower cholesterol, you would want to lower the fat content of what you are feeding since cholesterol is found in the fat. If you are referring to meat birds and you mean that you need to lower the cholesterol in your diet, you can do that by not eating the fat and skin of the chicken.
What is a known natural substance for lowering cholesterol?
Q. Apart from eating all the right foods and excersing what is a good natural proven substance I can take to lower cholesterol? I dont want to take Statin Drugs.
A. oatmeal, cheerios (but in HUGE quantities), anything with good whole fiber...i also like flax oil capsules, which have lots of good omega 3s and 6s but don't make me have fish burps (like the fish oil capsules do).
phytostearols are a naturally occuring substance in a lot of fruits and vegetables said to help, can be easily found in said items, but also in enough quantity to help in pomegranate juice and a new yogurt-shot drink type thing from promise (but the name escapes me as of this moment). right in the grocery store.
by all means, DO try all of these methods first before ever going on a statin! also know, if your levels aren't extremely high, that some people's bodies just make more cholesterol naturally than others, regardless of how good their diet is.

How to cook a low cholesterol Christmas dinner?
Q. My father has recently been diagnosed with angina and this means cutting down on cholesterol. He loves his food and I don't want him to miss out on christmas dinner so i am wondering if anyone had any recipes and tricks to make the whole dinner, with all the trimmings. I am from the UK.
A. Try using Fry Light, its an alternative to oil. Its a spray that you could cover your spuds in instead of more traditional fats for roasting. Cook Turkey as its a very lean meat and again use the fry light to cover instead of more traditional fats. Make sure he eats breast meat without the skin on. For the veg either steam or boil them.
The fry light does make food a little dryer but it does a great job - use some good herbs and it will still be tasty.
