How dieting can replace those cholesterol medications

I'm of the belief that healthy lifestyle habits and food intake could replace the need for so many prescription drugs it would probably make some drug companies collapse.

It's funny -- one industry supplies the junk and processed food to cause many of us health problems, and another industry supplies the supposed solution for fixing all those problems. Yep -- that sounds like a sound basis for a growing economy, right?

To those who would like to lower their overall "bad" cholesterol -- why not put yourself on a strict low-fat diet while losing weight and getting regular exercise instead of just taking a pill to 'cure' all your woes? Here's the reason: pills are easy, lifestyle changes are hard. Oh well -- it's your choice, as always.
