Dear Joyce and Klara, Another excellent addition could be soy products (unless you are allergic to soy). There are some excellent studies showing good results, both lowering LDL and raising HDL, through use of soy. Anecdotal reports indicate that for some people soy protein appears to interfere with levodopa absorption less than does animal protein. I can't say that this is accurate, just passing on what several of my patients report.
