Why Fat Phobia Will Foil Your Health
Post on Tue, Jan 15, 2013 by Jared Rice
We all know a few fat phobics. Holdovers from a past era of dietary fads. They’re constantly referring to things as “fattening” (a word I’ve come to hate as a nutritionist). Their refrigerators are full of “lite” and “non-fat” versions of name-brand processed foods, things like non-fat salad dressing, which...... -
Statins Linked to Memory Loss
Post on Mon, Mar 05, 2012 by Paula Gallagher
The FDA is adding new warnings to statin drugs about the risk of memory loss.

In a recent study, a prescription version of niacin, Niaspan, slowed the buildup of plaque on artery walls more than the newer cholesterol lowering drug Zetia. The study, published in the The New England Journal of Medicine, involved 363 people who had heart disease or were at high risk of...... -
Don’t forget about CoQ10 with your Statin
Post on Mon, Jul 06, 2009 by Christine Gonzalez
If you're taking a statin (Lipitor, Zocor, Pravachol, Mevacor, Crestor, etc) to lower your cholesterol or prevent cardiovascular problems, you should seriously consider taking a CoQ10 supplement. You have probably heard about the dangers of high cholesterol, particularly LDL (“bad cholesterol”). Statins work by blocking an enzyme in the liver...... -
Lower Lipids Naturally
Post on Wed, Jun 24, 2009 by James Brodsky, M.D.
So often I am asked if cholesterol or triglycerides can be lowered without prescription medication. The answer is yes. First, know what your low-density cholesterol (LDL, “bad cholesterol”) is and what it should be. If it is greater than 130, it is probably too high. If it is over......
