2 tbsp. of freshly ground flaxseeds has been proven to work better than statins with no side effects. Google and you will see loads of info. Obviously Big pHarma doesn't want you to know this as they can't patent flaxseeds and make any money off it.
Wow, I've been eating 1 tbsp of freshly ground flax seeds a day for the last several months. My annual checkup is Tuesday, looking for a single digit cholesterol number.
