Eating one serving a day of beans, peas, chickpeas or lentils can significantly reduce 'bad cholesterol' and therefore the risk of cardiovascular disease, a new study has found. North Americans on average currently eat less than half a serving a day.

Hummus is a complete protein; thus, a substitute for meat that provides protein and cholesterol protection.

I will add my parents' experience, specifically my mother's. She was taking statins, until she started eating beans four to six times a week, and extra fiber cereal every morning. It works. I eat beans myself at least three times a week. Probably less than I should.
