Does brocoli lowers cholesterol?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not to any : Appreciable extent. Broccoli is good for you but by itself it will not lower cholesterol to an appreciable extent. The items that help in lowering cholesterol are diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains; low in saturated fats; exercise with increasing rigor at least 150 minute/week. See this site and discuss the matter with your doctor. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cholesterol/c.

YES, however...: Broccoli is one of the healthiest of foods and lowering cholesterol is just one of its many benefits. See http://www.Whfoods.Com/genpage.Php?Tname=foodspice&dbid=9 but lowering cholesterol is over-rated.
