Though it was probably known earlier, the reminder that
beans are GREAT for lowering the bad cholesterol numbers
was recently seen here:

These seem to refer to blood pressure (?). Lots of people have good BP numbers, but still have high cholesterol.
On the other hand, it could be that the fiber helps with cholesterol - I know a man who astounded his doc by seriously lowering his cholesterol just by eating oatmeal every morning.
