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, schientists must find the best ways to incorporate the beneficial oil into products consumers could use. END OF ARTICLE So I guess in otherwords, eat your citrus peels.... Darlene
