    My brother is probably one of the healthiest eaters I know.  He is also really active and plays tennis and basketball any chance he gets.  But when he started working this past year, we found out that his long hours really took a toll on his eating habits: his cholesterol was off the charts.  His girlfriend found this study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that concluded skim milk from immunized cows has a cholesterol-lowering effect, so we made him go on a strict diet.  My brother really hated drinking skim milk, but now he uses the stolle immune milk supplement that he mixes into his coffee every morning.  He told me that he has been feeling more alert at work and that his cholesterol level has started to go down.  After reading this article, I am so happy to know that by lowering his cholesterol, my brother can reduce his risk of prostate cancer.

  3. Niacin must work

    I’ve read that niacin is the only medication that has demonstrably reduced unwanted cardiovascular events. The 8341 patients, in the 15 year Coronary Drug Project (CDP), demonstrated the end-result effectiveness of niacin. There’s much about this at www.cholesterolscore.com

     

    Judging from the recent scramble by Big Pharma to, somehow, cash in on the only medication (niacin) that moves all the blood/lipid numbers in the right directions, I'd say that most of the info at cholesterolscore.com may be accurate.  What do you think?
