From Cut Your Cholesterol

1. Salmon, along with other fatty fish like mackerel, sardines, and tuna, contain omega-3 fatty acids. They help stabilize heart rhythms, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, and reduce inflammation in the arteries.

Aim for at least two servings a week and choose fish lower in mercury (see a buyer's guide). One recent study claims consuming even just half a serving weekly can lower the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by 17 percent.

I am lipitor for cholesterol and if grapefruit is so good for cholesterol why can't you eat grapefruit at all while taking lipitor.

I disagree, oybean oil can add fat as they feed pigs and cattle with soybeans so they get fat.
