A member asked:
Sense grapefruit can naturally lower cholesterol, would it be ok to stop my prescribed cholesterol meds and just eat grapefruit for a natural remedy without the side effects of the meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good idea: There is no evidence that grapefruit will lower cholesterol. Do not discontinue your medication without discussing it with your doctor. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
