A member asked:

Can i eat avocados and sardines 5 days a week without worrying about my cholesterol getting too high?

Cholesterol: Both of these foodstuffs have been touted as a means by which to lower LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol). Cannot imagine a problem with eating these regularly. Most changes are genetically as well as dietarily related.
