  1. Can cause side affects???????? Do cause major side affect…try prescription strength fish oil to lower bad colesterol. NOT OVER THE COUNTER FISH OIL(it’s worthless).

  2. McDonald's french fries is the best treatment for high cholesterol.

  3. HÅLL ER BORTA IFRÅN SOCKER
    NO SUGAR
    NO ADDED SUGAR

  4. Does it contain MRNA?????????

  5. Whole foods plant based diet is extremely effective at lowering cholesterol. One of the reasons it works is because only animal based foods contain cholesterol. Another is because a whole foods plant based diet tends to be lower in saturated fat. The other kind of fats in moderation make HDL, or good, cholesterol that cleans out the arteries. I recommend subscribing to Dr. Greger on YouTube. 🌿 🌿 💪💪 ♥ ♥ ✌ ✌

  6. Is this research sponsored by the company?

  7. Eat more healthy can save you that $400 a month medical bill

  8. 2009… there’s an App for that
    2023… there’s a 💊 for that.

  9. If it gives u gallstones I wouldn't trust it. That's basically ur body reacting to what it perceives as a toxin.

  10. Instead of telling people to eat right and exercise were just gonna keep developing drugs to give them and then other drugs to mitigate the side effects of those ad nauseam.

  11. Gout or Gallstones, nope!

  12. It's kinda sad that they need a "study" to tell people about diet and exercise.

    If you eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and exercise regularly then you don't have to worry about cholesterol.

  13. Big pharmaceutical commercial on the news again.

  14. Statins destroyed my libido! Never again. 💯

  15. Solution: Eating healthy foods, dieting, and exercise.
