I'm always a little leery about studies funded by an industry group that find that an increase in sales...er...consumption has a medical benefit.

Orange, tangerine peels could be better than drugs for lowering cholesterol

USDA's Citrus and Subtropical Products Laboratory in Winter Haven, Fla., and KGK Synergize Inc. provided funding for this study.
