Statins and cholesterol
The data is rather negative regarding Statin Medications and long term usage. The underlying culprit in cardiovascular disease may indeed be inflammation and not cholesterol, according to contemporary research. Look to prevention, more fiber, Omega 3’s etc. Always refer to the Physician’s Desk Reference as regards liver and cardiac damage from those meds.

Dark soda and health issues
The data continues to compile regarding the dangers of dark soda pop yet the public continues to consume those drinks. The dangers, not just from caffeine and sugar, are predominately from phosphoric acid and aspertame. The endocrine system, gastrointestinal sytem, cardiac function AND central nervous system functions are all adversely affected from this dangerous chemical cocktail. Liquid nutrition is an alternative…getting electrolytes and antioxidants to improve health through natural beverages.

M.D.’s are looking at the role of nutrition to meet those demands. Providing solutions for those needs does enhance your value as a nutritional provider.
