In some parts of the world September means back to school, leaves changing colors and pumpkins popping up everywhere!

“Two years ago, I became a vegan. One of the reasons I became a vegan is my cholesterol. I stopped eating eggs. I stopped putting bad cholesterol into my body.”

—John Salley, during an interview with The Healthy Voyager Caroline Scott on how going vegan improved his cholesterol levels.

Can food really do what drugs like Lipitor, Crestor and Zocor aim to do? Consider this bit of information from GoVeg. The average American’s cholesterol is 210. The average vegetarian’s cholesterol is 161 and the average vegan’s is 133. Anything above 150 raises your risk of atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries that could lead to heart disease or stroke. A study by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn (Rip‘s dad) published in the American Journal of Cardiology suggested patients who suffer from clogged arteries can become “heart-attack proof” by lowering their cholesterol to 150 or below.

Most Americans aren’t getting enough servings of fruits and vegetables, according to an article in Time which cites a study done by the Centers for Disease Control. And fruit consumption is lower than before.

In 2009, the CDC found that 1/3 of U.S. adults had 2 or more servings of fruit a day, which is down from 34% in 2000. Twenty-six percent of adults ate at least 3 servings of vegetables a day, which is the same as 2000.

Among the states that had the highest produce consumption, California took the lead for eating the most fruit and Tennessee for the most vegetables. Oklahoma came in last for eating the least amount of fruit and South Dakota residents ate the least amount of vegetables.

While CDC officials are disappointed with the results, Time emphasizes that the study was done before the wave of promoting home and community gardens. A new study is planned for 2011 to assess consumption again.
