| − | * Flavonoids in dark [[chocolate]] are the same chemicals found in red wine, which has also been found to lower LDL cholesterol (low density lipoproteins, “bad” cholesterol) levels as well as exert a protective effect against coronary Heart Disease. In addition to this, one-third of the fat content found in chocolate is in the form of stearic acid. Although it is a saturated fat, stearic acid exerts a neutral effect on cholesterol levels; that is, while it does not appear to raise cholesterol levels in some studies, it does not appear to lower them either.

| − | * Macqui berry helps regulate cholesterol and triglyceride levels by encouraging healthy blood flow, preventing cholesterol oxidation, and discouraging plaque buildup in the arteries.

| − | *Pterostilbene is a powerful antioxidant found in blueberries. Scientists are buzzing about its amazing cancer-fighting and cholesterol-lowering ability.

| − | *Krill oil and fish oil are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a new study has found that krill oil might fight high cholesterol more effectively than fish oil.

| − | * [[avocado]] can improve the levels of total cholesterol in the body, by increasing HDL and lowering LDL.
| + | |
| − | * stearic acid in dark [[chocolate]] can lower the total cholesterol, LDL and HDL.
| + | |
| − | * True tea, especially the fairly processed green tea, can lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, and improve the ratio of HDL against LDL.
| + | |
| − | * The bean-cholesterol association is due to the soluble fiber content of beans.
| + | |
| − | * [[Red Wine]] : By drinking red wine, the way the French do every day, blood pressure is better regulated and the total cholesterol decreased. The LDL cholesterol level also decreased, and the damage of LDL due to oxidative stress is reduced.
| + | |
| − | * Oats is lowering the cholesterol levels of the body. Oats also has avenanthramides, an antioxidant compound distinctive to oats that prevents the damage of LDL cholesterol.
