Your mom needs a cholesterol lowering diet that you can see in http://au.search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22c…



Here it is in a nutshell:

Anything that comes form animals has cholesterol in it, ie , meat,dairy...
( in varying amounts )
Anything that does not come from meat does not have cholesterol, ie , vegetables,fruit,nuts,grain..

This does not mean she has to become vegetarian/vegan but I hope it points you in the right direction.



The American Heart Association website would be full of information she needs, like foods to eat, and it would help you too, not to worry so much.
