Or do you think you could just eat one brazil nut a day? Think I will test that out. Thank you both for sharing.

Yes and no. For my cholesterol to drop that much it was a combination of both diet and nuts. Like I mentioned that was many years ago. Last year, my cholesterol went up again. I admit to slacking off on watching what I eat and my cholesterol shot up to 245. I began once again eating mostly plant-based (I found 100% plant-based too restrictive) but included salmon and sometimes chicken but no Brazilian nuts this time simply because I didn't get around to buying them. In a matter of 3 weeks (2 separate blood tests) my cholesterol dropped from 245 to 185 - a 60-point drop. However, if I ate a Brazilian nut a day, I'm certain my numbers would have been even better. Clearly, changing your diet helps drop cholesterol significantly, but eating a Brazilian nut 1x/day would help reduce it even more.
