One would think that eating a low fat diet would lower blood cholesterol. Unfortunately a number of studies done on patients who undertook a low fat diet for 6 months showed no difference in cholesterol levels. Many other diets have been investigated but so far diet alone does not appear to have an impact on blood cholesterol. However, if you combine this with exercise, then cholesterol does drop. So if you do not want to take drugs, start an exercise program, cut down on your diet, and do not smoke.
