Look up the documentary "my big fat diet"
It does exactly that. The people who went on it
1) Lost weight
2) A lot got off their hi BP meds
3) A lot got off their diabetic meds
4) Some of them had their cholesterol go down over 30% which is way better than any drug
It's all about insulin control. No carbs no insulin, which will lower the cholesterol.
85% of a persons cholesterol is produced by the body anyway.
