Consumption apples of not too sweet varieties are an effective organic way to fight against high cholesterol.

“Apples are the best fruits for reducing the level of cholesterol in the blood”, this is the opinion of its experts.

Their lowering cholesterol effect experts partially associate with a high dose of fiber, which belongs to the soluble type. In particular, apples are saturated with such a type of fiber as pectin.
