Diet dreams are made of this. What is high in fat but reduces bad cholesterol? Is packed with kilojoules but is unlikely to stack kilos? It's the macadamia nut. Researchers asked a group with high blood cholesterol readings to eat a handful of macadamias each day for four weeks. Their bad cholesterol levels fell by 5.3%; good cholesterol levels rose up to 7%. Macadamias have a very high level of monosaturated fats and a large amount of plant sterols, which limit cholesterol absorption.
