“Make that heart-friendly bowl of oatmeal even better for your cholesterol by mixing in some fresh berries instead of sugar. A recent study showed that too much added sugar in the diet could contribute to high cholesterol levels. But trading sugar for fresh fruit is a sweet way to cut back on the white stuff. In a study, people who averaged about 90 grams of added sugar a day tended to have higher triglyceride levels and less of the good HDL cholesterol than did the people who typically ate less sugar.” So be good to yourself and add blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or any other berries to your cereals for better health.
