Is it true that fruits and vegetables absorb cholesterol like a sponge?

No. The only way to reduce your cholesterol is through avoiding it in your diet or taking a stat in to reduce the level in your blood.

Sorry!

Pectin in apples reduces cholesterol.

No, but some do help because they contain omega-3 fatty acids.

Foods like fresh water fish, whole grain foods, and other foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids increase your "good" cholesterol, which helps eliminate the "bad" cholesterol that can clog arteries and cause strokes or heart attack.
