New Approach Discovered To Lowering Triglycerides

New Approach Discovered To Lowering Triglycerides:
"Studies done with laboratory rats suggest that supplementation of their diet with lipoic acid had a significant effect in lowering triglycerides, which along with cholesterol levels and blood pressure are one of the key risk factors in cardiovascular disease.....

The results were just published in the Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics.

"The extent of triglyceride reduction was really dramatic, we didn't expect it to be this profound," said Regis Moreau, an assistant professor with the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University."

Lipoic Acid is found in Kidney meats, Broccoli, and Spinach among other foods.
