I'm trying to find out what the best diet is for lowering cholesterol.

The best diet for lowering cholesterol is a Mediterranean-style diet, which emphasizes plant-based foods such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds; moderate amounts of fish and poultry; and healthy fats from olive oil, avocados, and olives. Eating plenty of fiber-rich foods like beans, lentils, oats, and barley can also help lower cholesterol levels. Additionally, reducing your intake of saturated fat, trans fats, and processed sugars can further reduce cholesterol.
