A member asked:
I have blood cholesterol which is under control at the moment. would black seed oil in my diet increase the risk of bad cholesterol level? thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably ok: There is not much literature on black seed oil and cholesterol. Black seed oil contains some omega-3 fatty acids, which should (if anything) help triglycerides. If you are a "believer", then it is probably safe in moderation.
