A member asked:
If a person with ldl 130 switches from meat fat to the same mg peanut butter or cashew fat, will his ldl go down much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May or may not: Peanut butter will probably not help lower ldl, but other types of nuts may. Even switching to cashew fat may not lower it as it may be genetically determined. You can definitely try. Give yourself at least 3 months.
