What foods should I consume in moderation?
There are some foods that should be taken in moderation as they can contribute to a high level of cholesterol in the blood. These include:

• Meats such as fatty bacon and pork, sausages and black and white pudding.
• Cooking fats including lard, dripping and vegetable oils.
• Butter, margarine and other spreads.
• Milk.
• Cream, ice cream, artificial creams and sweet yogurts.
• Thick and creamy soups.
• Rich sauces and gravies, mayonnaise, and salad cream.
• Cheese – choose medium and low-fat varieties, and use as an alternative to meat at a meal.
• Eggs – use a maximum of 4 to 6 a week.
• White bread and other white flour products.
• Sugar, jam, soft drinks and sweet foods generally.
• Foods which contain the above as ingredients, such as pastries, cakes, rich biscuits, chocolate, toffees and sweets.

Salt
While salt itself does not contribute to high cholesterol levels, eating too much can cause high blood pressure that in turn is associated with heart disease and stroke. Therefore, it is worth cutting down on the amount you eat.

• Try not to add salt to food to season it, instead try freshly ground pepper or another seasoning.
• Keep an eye on the amount of salty meat such as bacon, gammon and ham you eat.
• Cut down on salty snacks including crisps and salted nuts.
• Check food labels for sodium, salt, sodium chloride, or monosodium glutamate content. Bottled sauces and tinned foods often have a high salt content.

High fiber foods (likes oats, bran, whole grains), have a modest impact in lowering cholesterol by binding bile acids (made from cholesterol) in your intestinal tract. This is always a good option to incorporate into your diet, for more reasons than just cholesterol. The most effective natural remedy is niacin (a B vitamin), but it is not without side effects. Niacin can cause people to have facial flushing (you get very red and feel warm), some people experience this more than others and you may be able to decrease this by taking it with food and an NSAID (aspirin or ibuprofen). The best niacin products are available by prescription only, I suggest talking to your doctor about this. It is also safe to take niacin with ezetimibe (but your doctor should know). There are other natural products that claim to lower cholesterol like garlic, but most of these methods have very little evidence to support their use and have their own set of side effects as well. I am in my sixth and final year of pharmacy school, I hope that you find this information useful. PS ezitemibe has a lower incidence of muscle pain than the statins, you should give it a shot. Good luck.

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. And so as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.
