Orange oil compound helps fight cholesterol "A compound in orange oil appears to reduce cholesterol. The discovery by federal agricultural researchers could provide a new market for citrus farmers. Orange oil comes from orange peels. The research shows the compound in orange oil reduces levels of LDL cholesterol. Now, scientists must find the best ways to incorporate the beneficial oil into products consumers could use"  When I read this type of news article, I wonder why anyone would be willing to wipe out potential life-saving plants through environmental carelessness or greed. The leaf or shrub you burn out for more and more ag land may be the very source of our cancer cure. Source: CFBF Comm-News Staff news@cfbf.com 7:27:58 AM
