Anybody having a hard time with their cholesterol levels? Last week, I got checked again and my HDL was 3 (three), like non existent! The doc new right away what was going on and told me to stop. He put me on Tricor and Lipitor. I am also taking these supplements called GooGooLipids (yeh sounds funny) from GNC that are herbs from bringing up HDL. Bottom line is, is there anything else to do besides cutting AS's completelely?? Help please.... Hammy | ||

an excerpt from the article... Lecithin is also an important component of the endocrine glands and the muscles of the heart and kidneys. It makes up 73 per cent of the total liver fat. Nervous, mental or glandular overactivity can consume lecithin faster than its replacement. This may render a person irritable and exhausted. It is, therefore, of utmost importance to add lecithin to the diet, if the body�s own supply decreases as in old age or working under stress. | ||
