Anything high in soluble fiber will help you fight cholesterol. Metamucil, which is essentially just psyllium husk (a seed shell that absorbs water) is also good for lowering cholesterol (in addition to keeping you umm.. 'regular'). Fiber works in this way by binding to cholesterol and it basically passes through you.Info: <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psyllium">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psyllium</a>

Woah on the banana's.... yes, your points are valid, but they are very important in your diet for a different reason.That potassium, which I don't disagree with what you said it does, is still very important. Our nervous systems work, in a sense, on a balance between potassium and sodium. If the balance gets heavy on one side or the other, it can cause significant problems in the nervous system.We all get a ton of sodium, it's over used in so many foods. Because of this, potassium intake is important to be aware of.

Garlic and black beans will reduce cholesterol numbers and also the number of friends.
